Spring and autumn usually sit somewhere in between, so it's really the extremes of the year worth watching. In Stapleford, pollution levels don't stay flat — winter and summer look pretty different. In deep winter, a lack of wind lets A46 traffic fumes and woodsmoke settle instead of blowing through. Warmer months swap one problem for another — less smoke and heating pollution, but more ozone on the sunniest days.
Are air quality levels in Stapleford 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.
