When is air pollution at its worst in Greenock?
Air quality in Greenock isn't the same all year round — it really shifts with the seasons. In deep winter, a lack of wind lets A82 traffic fumes and woodsmoke settle instead of blowing through. In summer, ozone can build up on sunny afternoons, though windier, warmer weather usually helps clear traffic-related pollution faster than in winter. The shoulder seasons generally bring the mildest readings of the year.
Are air quality levels in Greenock 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.
