When is air pollution at its worst in Konza Prairie Biological Station?
Like the rest of Manhattan, Konza Prairie Biological Station sees air quality change through the year. In short, winter generally brings the cleanest air, aside from brief inversion episodes during calm cold spells, whereas spring planting and autumn harvest can push particulate levels up with dust and agricultural burning. Wide-open terrain generally helps disperse pollution quickly once the wind picks up.
Are air quality levels in Konza Prairie Biological Station 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.
