The forecaster’s discussion

Written by New Jersey Dept. of Environmental Protection for Riverline and filed with AirNow.

9/28 - The chance for rain will begin to taper off on Monday as the Nor'easter weakens and begins to depart the region, accompanied by breezy winds shifting out of the northwest. As a result, air quality will remain in the good category across New Jersey. 9/29 - Good air quality is expected to prevail across the Garden State as low pressure leaves the area, leaving behind a clean air mass along with sunny skies and warmer temperatures.

Fine particles in micrograms per cubic meter, ozone in parts per billion as an 8-hour average. The index for each hour is EPA’s: the ozone figure is already the 8-hour average the ozone index is defined on, and the particle figure is run through EPA’s NowCast, which is how an hourly PM2.5 concentration becomes an index.

Category descriptions are the Environmental Protection Agency’s own.

What these numbers are. An index beside a monitor’s name is a measurement, published hourly by AirNow and preliminary until the operating agency certifies it. A category for today or tomorrow is a state or local agency forecaster’s own forecast for a reporting area. An hourly index is NOAA’s air quality model on a five-kilometer grid, not a reading from any instrument. Where a town has no monitor within reach, only the model figures appear, and the page says so.
