When is air pollution at its worst in Västra Hamnen?
Does air quality in Västra Hamnen vary by season? Winter is generally when local emissions build up most, since cold, stagnant air limits how quickly wood-smoke and exhaust clear. Spring typically sees fewer stagnant-air episodes, as more frequent wind and rain help disperse local emissions. Summer generally brings the year's best air quality, thanks to longer days, more ventilation, and less need for heating. Autumn conditions worsen gradually as heating resumes, though not yet to the extent seen during the depths of winter. Because the season is milder here than further north, these swings tend to be somewhat less extreme.
Are air quality levels in Västra Hamnen 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.
