Most days bring generally favorable conditions here, with occasional exceptions tied to shifting weather patterns. Local topography and prevailing winds both play a role in how quickly conditions change.

When is air pollution at its worst in Brookings?
Seasonal changes shape air quality across Brookings. Typically, once the harvest dust settles, winter typically offers the cleanest stretch of the year, while summer heat and humidity drive ozone formation, and agricultural dust can spike particulate levels during planting and harvest. Wide-open terrain generally helps disperse pollution quickly once the wind picks up.
Are air quality levels in Brookings 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.
