Graaff-Reinet Golf Club lies roughly 210 km north-northwest of Gqeberha. At Graaff-Reinet Golf Club, vehicle traffic and sheep and ostrich farming operations contribute the bulk of local emissions in this remote Karoo setting, where wide open spaces and regular winds generally keep pollution well dispersed. Only rare calm, dry spells allow dust to build up noticeably. Similar patterns show up in most Karoo towns of a similar size.

When is air pollution at its worst in Graaff-Reinet Golf Club?

Graaff-Reinet Golf Club golfers rarely face poor air quality, aside from occasional windblown dust events in late winter and spring linked to sheep and ostrich farming operations in the surrounding district. For most of the year, conditions across the course stay consistently good, a seasonal pattern typical of the wider Karoo interior.

Are air quality levels in Graaff-Reinet Golf Club based on measurements or forecasts?

It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.

Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?

Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.

During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
