Gresham's air quality reflects the Sandy River valley at the eastern Portland metropolitan edge, with vehicle emissions from I-84 and the Columbia River Gorge commuter corridor contributing local sources. Summer wildfire smoke from Oregon and Washington forests is an increasingly severe seasonal concern, while the Gorge's powerful easterly winds periodically flush Portland's eastern suburbs with cleaner Columbia Plateau air.

When is air pollution at its worst in Gresham?

Gresham sees air quality change through the year: the wet winter and spring months are generally the cleanest, with regular rain limiting particulate buildup, but late summer wildfire smoke is the biggest concern, sometimes pushing air quality into unhealthy territory for days at a stretch. Prevailing onshore winds usually keep pollution moving rather than letting it settle.

Are air quality levels in Gresham 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.

Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?

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.
