[Image appears of a black screen with “Mabel Station B-Roll footage” in white]
[Image changes to a small hut raised off the ground. The hut is fastened to the ground with guide wires. The ground is rocky in parts but there is snow with a large snowdrift to the right of the hut]
[Image changes as the camera moves closer to the metal door with an unusual handle]
[Image changes to a hand using the handle to open the door outwards]
[Image changes to show the inside of the hut. There are tools, fire extinguishers, a desk and chair, a large tank and some other scientific equipment]
[Image changes to pan over a lot of gauges, a computer and a blue box that is open with equipment inside and a closed red case]
[Image changes to move closer to the computer, showing that it is analysing Carbon Dioxide, Methane and Water Vapour before dropping down to the chair]
[Image changes to outside, there is snow and rocks on the ground with coloured buildings in the back ground. Two people are on screen, both in long sleeves, pants and boots. They have hats and sunglasses on]
[Image changes as the person on the right walks over some rocks and stands to face camera. His jacket is half unzipped and shows a checked shirt underneath. His hat is a blue beanie]
Speaker: This is Casey Station which is the southern reach of the CSIRO atmospheric monitoring network. It’s recording clean air coming off East Antarctic ice sheet from this direction.
[Image shows the person raising their right arm and pointing]
Speaker: The prevailing wind is from the southeast.
[Image shows the person turning to the hut and pointing at it]
Speaker: The monitoring is done in this building here which we call Mabel. Inside there we have instruments for monitoring directly the atmosphere and also samplers which collect air for analysis back in the CSIRO labs near Melbourne.
[Image shows the person turning to walk up the stairs to the hut and then open the door and walk into the hut then turn and walk out again.
