What is the yearly air quality pattern like in Kristianstad? 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. Warm-season conditions are generally the most favourable of the year, with wood-burning emissions largely absent. By late autumn, the return of heating season and stiller nights start bringing back the kind of conditions seen in winter. Being in southern Sweden, temperature swings here are usually less severe, which keeps these seasonal effects fairly moderate.

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.
