PROMOTE: YourAir air quality forecasts |
|
YourAir provides very high resolution air quality forecasts on the world-wide web, and broadcasts air quality alerts by SMS text message, voicemail, and email. The forecasting system combines local data on traffic patterns, weather forecasts and PROMOTE's European regional forecasts of atmospheric composition. These data are input to the ADMS-Urban pollution dispersion modelling system, which gives concentrations at a high degree of spatial resolution across a city.
YourAir airTEXT, launched on 28th March 2007, provides street-level forecasts for London. Pollution alerts are provided free to members of the public by SMS text message, voicemail, and email. airTEXT is operated by CERC in partnership with 25 London agencies and authorities.
