When is air pollution at its worst in Galapagar?

What is the yearly air quality pattern like in Galapagar? Cold, windless spells in December and January are usually when conditions dip most, as heating emissions and traffic fumes accumulate under a stable atmosphere. The transition into spring usually brings cleaner air, as more frequent rain and wind reduce the buildup of local pollution. Summer can bring periodic wildfire smoke on top of the usual ozone build-up from intense heat and sunshine. By late autumn, air quality is usually back to more moderate levels, though the first cold snaps can bring an early hint of winter's traffic and heating pollution. Inland locations like this typically see harsher winter inversions and hotter summer ozone spikes than areas closer to the coast.

Are air quality levels in Galapagar 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.
