Large scale land clearing has the potential to significantly modify regional climates yet current climate models do not incorporate an adequate representation of the land surface. Within Western Australia the rabbit fence provides a unique environment in which the interaction between the land surface and the atmosphere can be studied without other competing influences. A combination of satellite, aircraft and ground based observations will be used to relate cloud formation to land characteristics and provide a clearer insight into the climatic impact of human-induced land surface changes.

大规模的土地清理有可能显着改变区域气候，但目前的气候模型没有纳入足够的代表性的土地表面。在西澳大利亚州，兔子围栏提供了一个独特的环境，可以在没有其他竞争影响的情况下研究陆地表面和大气之间的相互作用。将综合利用卫星、飞机和地面观测，将云的形成与陆地特征联系起来，并更清楚地了解人类引起的陆地表面变化对气候的影响。
