This two-phase field campaign investigates the influence of land use
and landscape heterogeneity on atmospheric circulation and cloud
formation by taking advantage of SW Australia's "bunny fence". The
fence is responsible for a 700 km long, distinct, sharp boundary
between croplands and undisturbed vegetation areas, making it an ideal
location for studying human induced landscape heterogeneity and
natural, undisturbed environment, and their impact on climate, cloud
formation and regional hydrology. The project is lead by Udaysankar
Nair from the University of Alabama, Huntsville and involves two GAUS
systems. The first phase of this project took place in December 2005.
