In West Point, humid east Mississippi air is the main influence on air quality, and spring pine pollen brings a heavy yellow dusting. None of this is unusual for a place with West Point's particular geography and climate. Visitors and residents alike tend to notice the clearest air outside the warmest summer weeks.

When is air pollution at its worst in West Point?

Like most US cities, West Point sees air quality shift from season to season — the cleanest stretch usually comes in winter, once the long, hot ozone season has passed, whereas summer heat and humidity, combined with local industrial emissions, drive an extended ozone season. Hurricane season can occasionally disrupt normal pollution patterns, for better or worse depending on the storm.

Are air quality levels in West Point 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.
