Cape Grim has world's cleanest air, and it's helping solve a climate puzzle | ABC News

For nearly five decades, the Kennaook/Cape Grim air-monitoring station on Tasmania's north-west tip has been pivotal in tracking human-induced changes to the global atmosphere.

Australian and US scientists have teamed up to analyse "super-cooled" liquid clouds over the Southern Ocean, which are skewing climate models because of a lack of data.

The "CAPE-K" project will run until late next year, with the aim of improving our ability to forecast long-term changes to the climate.
