Measuring greenhouse emissions at Kennaook/Cape Grim

Kennaook/Cape Grim: Cleanest air in the world.

Most greenhouse gases (for example carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, HFCs, PFCs, sulfur hexafluoride) have shown continuous increases in atmospheric concentration since the mid-to-late 1970s. At the Kennaook/Cape Grim Baseline Air Pollution Station we are taking measurements of the latest greenhouse gas data updated and sharing it on a monthly basis.

Our atmospheric research

Regional climate modelling

Our Conformal Cubic Atmospheric Model (CCAM) is helping Australian sectors to mitigate and adapt to climate change impacts by providing high-resolution climate information.

Smoke forecasting

We have developed a smoke forecasting tool that is being used to help manage fine particle exposure from prescribed burns and bushfires in NSW and Victoria.

Tropical cyclones

Frequently asked questions about tropical cyclones, their causes, occurrences and impacts.

Atmospheric monitoring and modelling

Air quality research

Our scientists are working to understand how interactions between the land and the atmosphere affect the Earth system, and working with industry, regulators and the community in the search for solutions to our air pollution problems.
