How do the seasons affect air quality in Gällivare? Expect the occasional poor-air-quality day in winter, when a stable, windless cold snap traps smoke and exhaust that would otherwise disperse. The changeable spring weather generally keeps pollutant levels lower than in winter, even as pollen becomes more relevant. Air quality is typically strongest in summer, helped by more wind and sunshine, though still days can occasionally push up ozone levels. As autumn progresses, damp, still evenings can occasionally trap emissions before winter's more persistent inversions set in. With a longer heating season in the north, the winter dip in air quality here tends to stretch out further than elsewhere in Sweden.

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.
