When is air pollution at its worst in Missoula Carousel?
Missoula Carousel's air quality follows a clear seasonal pattern, as spring and autumn generally bring the cleanest, most stable air; by contrast, wildfire smoke drifting in from across the region is the main summer concern, while winter inversions can trap pollution locally. Valley and basin locations are especially prone to these winter inversion episodes compared to more exposed, higher terrain.
Are air quality levels in Missoula Carousel 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.
