Tasmania's Cape Grim Baseline Air Pollution Station program keeping track of the global atmosphere
The Earth's climate is changing, and the driving forces are changes occurring in the composition of the planet's atmosphere.
At Tasmania's Kennaook/Cape Grim site, the Bureau of Meteorology operates a scientific observatory to measure the composition of some of the world's cleanest air.
The station is on Tasmania's west coast, near the north-west tip — the location chosen because, when conditions are right, the air at Kennaook/Cape Grim has been transported from the vast Southern Ocean, by way of the westerly winds frequently encountered.
