Being part of Dundee City, Dundee sees an air quality profile that's largely down to traffic and general town-centre activity.

The A82 sees the heaviest traffic, and that shows up clearly in local roadside monitoring.

Most of spring and autumn stays fairly steady, right in the middle of those two extremes. Air quality in Dundee 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.

Are air quality levels in St Andrews Links Trust – Old Course 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.
