When is air pollution at its worst in Baden?

At Baden, winter brings the poorest readings, as vehicle traffic and cross-border industry build up over the flat terrain whenever the usual cross-border winds fail to clear it. Once spring arrives, dispersion improves steadily over the plain, and summer stays largely clear except during rare heatwaves; autumn tends to be comparatively mild.

Are air quality levels in Baden 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.
