Gårda shares Gothenburg's general air quality profile, varying locally with how close residents are to main roads. The district's a student-heavy quarter with modest courtyard greenery have little bearing on air quality itself, which instead follows traffic patterns.

When is air pollution at its worst in Gårda?

Does air quality in Gårda vary by season? The coldest months bring the year's more frequent air quality dips, mostly linked to wood-burning stoves and traffic on still winter days. From spring onward, increasing wind and precipitation generally break up the stagnant conditions that caused winter dips. Summer generally brings the year's best air quality, thanks to longer days, more ventilation, and less need for heating. The transition into autumn typically brings a slow return of the wood-smoke and calm-air conditions that peak in winter. The area's relatively mild climate softens these seasonal differences compared with more northern parts of the country.

Are air quality levels in Gårda 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.

Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?

Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.

During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
