When is air pollution at its worst in Vernier?

Vernier's 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. Warmer months bring noticeably better airflow off the lake, with only the occasional summer ozone spike breaking an otherwise clean pattern through spring and autumn.

Are air quality levels in Vernier 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.
