Madison's Marquette Neighbourhood air quality reflects the historic near east residential district, with vehicle traffic on the surrounding Williamson and Atwood corridors contributing local sources. Lake Monona's lake breezes provide ventilation, while the neighbourhood's walkable character and the isthmus position's dual-lake influence generally maintain moderate Madison metropolitan readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Marquette Neighborhood?

Air quality around Marquette Neighborhood changes with the seasons: between summer ozone and occasional winter inversions, spring and fall are the year's cleanest stretch, but summer heat waves are the main driver of poor air quality, as ozone builds under stagnant, humid conditions. Calm, cold winter spells can occasionally allow local pollution to build up before the next weather system clears it.

Are air quality levels in Marquette Neighborhood 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.
