When is air pollution at its worst in Porto Cristo?

How does air quality change throughout the year in Porto Cristo? Winter mornings are frequently the year's most polluted, as fog and calm conditions trap traffic fumes and smoke from wood stoves close to the ground. Spring is typically when conditions begin improving, as increasing wind speeds help disperse traffic emissions before they can accumulate. Summer's intense heat and sunshine create ideal conditions for ozone formation, sometimes overshadowing the lower traffic volumes typical of the season. The first rains of autumn typically help clear out any lingering summer dust or ozone, setting up milder conditions ahead of winter. Being on the Mediterranean coast helps with dispersal most of the year, though summer tourism and North African dust episodes remain a factor.

Are air quality levels in Porto Cristo 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.
