Baring Head
Our global atmospheric monitoring centre.
The Baring Head Clean Air Monitoring Station which has been in operation for more than 30 years makes significant contributions to our global understanding of greenhouse gases, other trace gases and related species in air that is representative of the mid latitude southern hemisphere. The internationally recognised site contributes to global scientific studies into climate change and our impact on the earth’s atmosphere. The air arriving at this site in a southerly condition has originated from areas of no human activity and therefore is not influenced by any local activity.
