When is air pollution at its worst in Sacromonte?
How do the seasons affect air quality in Sacromonte? Cold, windless spells in December and January are usually when conditions dip most, as heating emissions and traffic fumes accumulate under a stable atmosphere. By spring, air quality usually starts trending upward as the calm winter inversions give way to more unsettled, breezier weather. Summer readings are shaped mainly by ozone, which builds under strong sun and heat, sometimes worsened by drifting wildfire smoke. As autumn progresses, cooler temperatures and more frequent rain tend to bring air quality back toward its yearly average. Being close to North Africa, this area is more exposed to Saharan dust intrusions, which can add to the seasonal pattern described above.
Are air quality levels in Sacromonte 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.
