Los Angeles' Griffith Park air quality benefits from the park's elevated Santa Monica Mountains position at up to 507 metres, with the park's 4,200 acres of chaparral and oak woodland providing exceptional natural filtration. Vehicle traffic on Los Feliz Boulevard and the surrounding inner-city corridors contribute local sources, while the elevated hillside position provides marginally better dispersal than the Los Angeles basin floor and summer wildfire smoke from the park's surrounding chaparral is an increasingly frequent seasonal concern.

Are air quality levels in Griffith Park 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.
