Norman's air quality benefits from the flat Oklahoma prairie providing excellent wind dispersal, with prevailing southerly Great Plains winds keeping readings moderate. Vehicle emissions from I-35 are the primary local source, while seasonal dust from surrounding agricultural landscape contributes elevated PM10 during dry windy periods throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Norman?
Air quality across Norman rises and falls with the seasons. In short, between summer ozone and occasional winter inversions, spring and fall are the year's cleanest stretch, whereas hot, humid summer conditions drive ozone formation, especially during heat waves. Lake-effect winds can help clear the air on many days near the Great Lakes shoreline.
Are air quality levels in Norman 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.
