When is air pollution at its worst in Pâquis?
Pâquis' poorest air quality shows up when winter calm lets vehicle traffic and international commuter activity accumulate near the lakeshore rather than clearing out with the usual breeze. Once spring arrives, dispersion improves steadily, and summer stays largely clear except during rare heatwaves; autumn tends to be another comparatively mild, steady stretch.
Are air quality levels in Pâquis 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.
