AQMIS Air Quality & Meteorological Information System

AQMIS is a real-time air quality and meteorological data system that provides hourly data for making smoke management decisions, air quality forecasts, and real-time information available to the public. It collects data from 150 AQ sites and 240 Met sites, including parameters such as ozone, PM10, PM2.5, CO, NOx, temperature, wind speed, and precipitation. Future enhancements include dynamic graphing, enhanced GIS, and integration with ADAM.
