Garden Point is one of five sites that will be used for TWP-ICE.

The Tropical Warm Pool International Cloud Experiment (TWP-ICE) kicked off this month with a successful media day on January 19. Jointly organized by the ARM Program and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, the experiment has received international attention from media outlets such as BBC and ABC. More than 100 scientists and researchers will participate in the month-long experiment, which is based in Darwin. Simultaneous land, sea, and sky operations were launched on January 21 to gather data that will provide insight into the inner workings of the monsoon cloud system.
