Baseline: if air flowing over Cape Grim has not recently crossed land or, in particular, any local pollution sources, it is considered to be representative of clean, mid-latitude Southern Hemisphere air. Measurements made in these circumstances provide a baseline of clean air conditions in our region of the Southern Hemisphere. At Cape Grim conditions are said to be baseline when air is flowing from the south-west between 190° and 280° (clockwise from north), and is very clear, determined by a condensation nuclei count below 600 particles per cubic centimetre. |
