- Summary
- The Wet Tropics World Heritage Area is one of the most important environmental regions of northern Queensland - and its ongoing health and the effect of climate change on its ecosystem is of great concern going forward. By monitoring the presence of water vapor over a large time scale it will be possible to detect cloud height patterns and trends potentially damaging changes to the ecosystem. The development of a relatively low-cost monitoring system is important to help acquire field data as many of the current technologies to monitor cloud height are expensive. Providing a low-cost alternative for acquiring these data will allow for further research to be more readily conducted in the future.
