When is air pollution at its worst in Parque Nacional de Sierra Nevada?

How do the seasons affect air quality in Parque Nacional de Sierra Nevada? Winter is generally the most challenging season, since low wind speeds and temperature inversions prevent traffic and wood-smoke pollution from dispersing. March through May tends to see steady improvement, with more unsettled weather patterns helping disperse traffic and heating pollution. During summer, strong sunlight and high temperatures accelerate ozone formation, occasionally offsetting the drop in traffic and heating-related emissions. Early autumn can still bring warm, stagnant spells before the season's returning rain and wind begin clearing the air. The region's intense heat and its exposure to Saharan dust crossing the Strait mean conditions here can swing sharply from the seasonal norm.

Are air quality levels in Parque Nacional de Sierra Nevada 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.
