Vallejo's air quality reflects the San Pablo Bay waterfront position at the northern end of San Francisco Bay, with the former Mare Island Naval Shipyard's industrial legacy and the I-80 Carquinez Bridge freight corridor generating concentrated vehicle and industrial emissions. The Carquinez Strait Delta breeze from Sacramento provides afternoon ventilation, while the surrounding Napa and Solano hills create topographic variation and summer wildfire smoke from the North Bay and Napa County mountains is an increasingly frequent severe seasonal concern.

When is air pollution at its worst in Vallejo?

Air quality in Vallejo shifts across the year, as late winter and spring tend to have the cleanest conditions, once winter rains settle in; by contrast, 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 Vallejo 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.

Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?

Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.

During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
