      I have been monitoring SO2 pollution maps in our area for some time now. From time to time the SO2 values completely change from one hour to the next: i.e. see below! Within an hour the average value across the area goes from 25-30 mg/m2 at 3pm to < 1mg/m2 at 4pm and then the next hour it is back to 25-30 mg/m2 at 5pm. See the sequence below.

      How is this possible? This seems to happen regularly in CAMS forecasting?
      Why would this happen?
      Any thoughts?

        @dmbakker Unfortunately, I cannot access those images. However, we get this data from the provider (forecast model) and we cannot do much with it.

            Your second screenshot is not showing the SO2 layer. These are the colors of the Wind layer.
            But I don’t know why you get a wrong legend in the bottom right corner of your screen (CAMS model and SO2 color scale). So there is a glitch.
            The weather picker is not displayed. So we don’t know what it would display.

              Thank you for that. Now I'll be on the lookout for these glitches.
