On 21 September 2026, air quality conditions in Lebanon Hills Campground West Loop will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at good at 13.1/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 AM (O3: 13.1/100).

The depths of winter usually mark the low point for local air quality, as rural heating sources add up under inversions that keep smoke from dispersing. Once summer sets in, ground-level ozone becomes the bigger local concern, as sunlight and heat combine to form ozone, with occasional smoke drift adding to the load.

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.

Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.

During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
