The RV Investigator was recently recognised as the world’s first mobile station of the World Meteorological Organisation’s Global Atmosphere Watch program. You can read all about the atmospheric capability of the RV Investigator here.
Max Desservettaz from the ACC group, alongside Chris and Sarah from O&A (see photo), was amongst 50 of CSIRO employees to proudly march at the 2019 Sydney Mardi Gras under CSIRO’s banner. Our theme was Diversity is in our DNA as CSIRO recognises that it is not possible to solve the Australia’s greatest challenges without […]
It’s hard not to get blown away (quite literally) by the sweeping landscapes of Tasmania’s coastlines and Cape Grim is no exception. Bearing the scars of a violent past does not detract from the beauty of the area, and the ACC’s most recent visit is testament to this. We were greeted with brilliant winter sunshine […]
As Typhoon Trami made its way slowly towards Japan, over 600 scientists from around the globe, including a large contingent of the ACC group, gathered to learn the latest in atmospheric chemistry at the 2018 joint iCACGP-IGAC conference in Takamatsu, Japan. This biennial conference is the foremost atmospheric chemistry conference and attracts the best of […]
In May 2018, the Australian Defence Science and Technology Group commissioned the AIRBOX to support a project to better understand the connection between atmospheric composition and atmospheric optical properties. AIRBOX is a lab-container, bringing together the best of Australian atmospheric composition research together. This was the second major field campaign for the infrastructure, having visited Mission […]
Previous research from the ACC group aboard the Aurora Australis during a marine science voyage, SIPEXII, found that the number of atmospheric aerosols measured as we crossed the Antarctic Polar Front were an order of magnitude higher than those further north in the Southern Ocean (see figure below). Together with extensive trajectory studies, this measurement gave […]
The Global Atmospheric Watch programme of the United Nation’s World Meteorological Organisation aims to provide reliable scientific data and information on the chemical composition of the atmosphere, its natural and anthropogenic change, and helps to improve the understanding of interactions between the atmosphere, the oceans and the biosphere. All GAW stations contribute to this goal […]
