Cheyenne's air quality benefits from the flat Wyoming high plains position at 1,848 metres, with consistent westerly winds from the Rocky Mountains providing generally good background ventilation. Vehicle emissions from I-25 and I-80 and the Francis E. Warren Air Force Base military operations are the primary local sources, while occasional winter inversions along the Wyoming Front Range corridor and summer ozone from regional vehicle traffic are the primary seasonal concerns.
