When is air pollution at its worst in Casco Antiguo (Santander)?

When is air quality typically worst in Casco Antiguo (Santander)? The year's lowest air quality readings tend to cluster in winter, when high-pressure systems suppress the mixing that would otherwise clear away exhaust and smoke. Conditions tend to ease in spring, as more active weather systems bring the wind and rain needed to disperse ground-level pollution. Summer can bring periodic wildfire smoke on top of the usual ozone build-up from intense heat and sunshine. Early autumn can still bring warm, stagnant spells before the season's returning rain and wind begin clearing the air. The Atlantic north's frequent rain and strong onshore winds generally keep year-round levels lower than in the drier interior and south.

Are air quality levels in Casco Antiguo (Santander) 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.
