When is air pollution at its worst in Plaza Mayor de Salamanca?
What is the yearly air quality pattern like in Plaza Mayor de Salamanca? 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. As spring progresses, wetter and windier conditions generally help flush out the traffic and heating pollution that built up over winter. Hot, dry summer conditions favour ozone formation, so afternoon readings can rise even when traffic and heating pollution are otherwise low. Conditions generally improve through autumn as cooling temperatures reduce ozone formation and returning rains help disperse remaining pollutants. The plateau's continental climate, with cold winters and hot, dry summers, tends to produce more pronounced seasonal differences here.
Are air quality levels in Plaza Mayor de Salamanca 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.
