Lakewood's air quality benefits from Lake Erie's powerful northerly and westerly lake winds providing consistent maritime ventilation along the Ohio shoreline immediately west of Cleveland. Vehicle emissions from Detroit Avenue and the surrounding dense urban residential character contribute local sources, while lake-effect weather patterns provide effective atmospheric washing and summer regional ozone from the Great Lakes industrial corridor is the primary warm-season concern.

Are air quality levels in Lakewood 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.
