Greeley's air quality reflects the Northern Colorado oil and gas extraction region's unique air quality challenge, with the Weld County DJ Basin's massive concentrated oil and gas well field generating elevated VOCs, methane, and benzene from thousands of surrounding wells that create some of the US's highest urban-proximate oil and gas extraction emission densities. The Front Range position provides mountain westerly ventilation, while the concentrated extraction operations make Greeley's air quality distinctly different from standard vehicle-dominated US urban profiles.

When is air pollution at its worst in Greeley?

Greeley sees air quality change through the year. In short, autumn is often the cleanest stretch, between wildfire season and the onset of winter inversions, whereas winter temperature inversions can trap cold air and pollution in valleys and basins for days at a time. Higher-elevation, more exposed locations generally avoid the worst of the valley inversion episodes.

Are air quality levels in Greeley 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.
