Savannah's Thunderbolt air quality reflects the historic fishing community on the Wilmington River, with vehicle traffic on the surrounding Mechanics Avenue corridor contributing modest local sources. The Wilmington River provides maritime ventilation, while the neighbourhood's riverside character and the Atlantic coastal influence generally maintain moderate Savannah metropolitan readings throughout most of the year.

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.
