When is air pollution at its worst in Kungsbacka?
When is air quality typically worst in Kungsbacka? Air quality dips are most common in winter, when heating season overlaps with the calm, cold weather that traps local emissions. As spring arrives, increasing wind speeds generally help clear the air faster than in the calmer winter months. The warmer months usually see the cleanest air of the year, aided by better ventilation and reduced wood-burning. Autumn conditions worsen gradually as heating resumes, though not yet to the extent seen during the depths of winter. The area's relatively mild climate softens these seasonal differences compared with more northern parts of the country.
Are air quality levels in Kungsbacka 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.
