When is air pollution at its worst in Hisings Backa?
Does air quality in Hisings Backa vary by season? Cold, still winter days are when pollutant levels are most likely to climb, mainly from heating and traffic rather than any single major source. Spring's changeable weather tends to prevent the kind of stagnant air that causes winter pollution episodes. Summer generally brings the year's best air quality, thanks to longer days, more ventilation, and less need for heating. By October and November, cooling air and calmer evenings start to mirror the patterns that intensify further in winter. The comparatively mild southern Swedish climate means these seasonal swings are usually less pronounced than further north.
Are air quality levels in Hisings Backa 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.
