Provo's air quality faces Utah Valley's severe winter inversion problem, with the surrounding Wasatch and Oquirrh mountain ranges creating an even more enclosed basin than Salt Lake City to the north and trapping vehicle, industrial, and residential emissions under persistent cold-air pools. Summer air quality is generally excellent with clean Rocky Mountain airflows, while winter produces some of the US's most extreme seasonal air quality contrasts.

Valley and basin locations are especially prone to these winter inversion episodes compared to more exposed, higher terrain.
Are air quality levels in Provo 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.
