When is air pollution at its worst in Sofielund?
When is air quality typically worst in Sofielund? Winter inversions are the main seasonal risk, occasionally trapping smoke and traffic fumes for a day or two during especially calm, cold spells. Conditions usually start improving from March as wind and rain become more frequent, helping clear out whatever built up over winter. Warm-season conditions are generally the most favourable of the year, with wood-burning emissions largely absent. Conditions gradually shift through autumn, with cooling temperatures reviving wood-burning and calmer nights allowing brief local build-ups. Being in southern Sweden, temperature swings here are usually less severe, which keeps these seasonal effects fairly moderate.
Are air quality levels in Sofielund 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.
