Salt Lake City's Jordan River Parkway air quality benefits from the linear Jordan River greenway's natural filtration corridor, with the river's limited ventilation providing modest natural dispersal. Vehicle traffic on the surrounding arterials contributes local sources, while the parkway's greenspace provides limited linear buffering and the Salt Lake Valley's winter inversion problem affects the entire valley corridor, making the parkway's green character most beneficial during the excellent Rocky Mountain summer conditions throughout the warmer months.

When is air pollution at its worst in Jordan River Parkway?
Conditions at Jordan River Parkway vary noticeably across the seasons. In short, a brief window in autumn tends to bring the year's best air, before winter inversions set in, whereas winter temperature inversions can trap cold air and pollution in valleys and basins for days at a time. Higher-elevation, more exposed locations generally avoid the worst of the valley inversion episodes.
Are air quality levels in Jordan River Parkway 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.
