Miami Beach's air quality benefits from its exceptional Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay coastal position on the narrow barrier island, with consistent sea breezes providing reliable maritime ventilation along the famous Art Deco shoreline. Vehicle emissions from the MacArthur and Julia Tuttle Causeway approach roads are the primary local sources, while summer ozone from subtropical heat and the greater Miami metropolitan traffic is the primary warm-season concern.

Inland areas tend to see more smoke buildup than locations closer to the coast.

Are air quality levels in Miami Beach 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.
