When is air pollution at its worst in Thun?
Thun's poorest air quality tends to show up when winter stillness lets vehicle traffic and administrative and commuter activity build up in the surrounding valley rather than dispersing. The rest of the year sees much better conditions in the valley, with summer's ozone spikes limited to the hottest, stillest days, and autumn generally reliable.
Are air quality levels in Thun 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.
