Summer usually brings much better dispersion around the lake, aside from the odd ozone spike during a hot, still afternoon, with spring and autumn typically the steadiest.
Are air quality levels in Einsiedeln 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.
