Sacramento's Southside Park air quality benefits from the 16-acre urban park's greenspace providing limited natural filtration in central Sacramento. Vehicle traffic on the surrounding 6th Street and Broadway corridors contributes local sources, while the park's open geometry and the Bay Delta breeze's afternoon ventilation generally maintain moderate Sacramento metropolitan readings and Southside Park provides a modest inner-city green space throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Southside Park?
Southside Park experiences the same seasonal air quality swings as the rest of Sacramento. In short, the rainy winter months generally bring the cleanest air, as storms clear traffic and woodsmoke pollution, whereas heat and dryness combine from July onward to raise both ozone and smoke risk. Dry summer conditions with virtually no rain mean pollution and smoke can linger for extended stretches once they arrive.
Are air quality levels in Southside Park 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.
