Narrow gravel road leading to the Mauna Loa Observatory cuts through a lava field on the big island of Hilo, Hawaii. View of the Mauna Loa Observatory or MLO. MLO is located on the north flank of the Mauna Loa Volcano at an altitude of 11,135 feet above sea level and has been continuously monitering and collecting data related to climate change, atmospheric composition and airquality since the 1950's. MLO's location situates it in a prime spot for sampling the Earth's background air in the well mixed free troposphere. Today, the observatory is best known for its measurements of rising anthropognic carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere. This trend is sometimes referred to as the "Keeling Curve".
