| How we forecast air pollution in Camden |
The forecasts use a
special method that allows the changes in air quality from street-to-street
to be determined, so that people affected by air pollution can make the
healthiest choices for their lifestyle or for the health of their children. This is
done by combining the latest weather forecasts, with detailed
knowledge of local traffic patterns, power stations and other factors, as well
as information on regional air pollution coming from the rest of the UK and from
Continental Europe. These are then converted to maps that are easy to read and
interpret. The air quality forecasts for are made using the YourAir Service from CERC. The YourAir Service is provided by CERC as part of the European Space Agency's PROMOTE consortium. PROMOTE is a service to provide high quality forecasts of air quality for Europe, combining the latest satellite data and advanced forecasting methods to give the best accuracy possible.
