When is air pollution at its worst in Ely?

Air quality across Ely rises and falls with the seasons: winter typically brings a welcome break from both heat-driven ozone and blowing dust, but spring winds can kick up sudden dust storms that spike particulate levels sharply for a day or two. Monsoon storms in July and August can either clear the air with rain or stir up dust ahead of the storm front.

Are air quality levels in Ely 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.
