“In October 2025, after 18 months of detailed atmospheric observations from Australia’s southernmost state, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) User Facility wrapped up the Cloud And Precipitation Experiment at kennaook (CAPE-k) in Tasmania. The scientific goal of CAPE-k was to capture a complete seasonal cycle of cloud and precipitation observations to help researchers improve understanding and modeling of related processes over the Southern Ocean. This region has long posed challenges for accurate simulation.” Professor Roger Marchand was one of the Co-PIs in this campaign, and grad student Kyndra Buglione attended the CAPE-k student workshop in February 2025, along with 14 instructors and 27 students from the United States, Australia, and Europe.
