OSTI ID:5705571

During Mauna Loa Observatory's first twenty years scientists have been attempting to gain only the simplest comprehension of the processes and mechanisms of climatic change. This book records the history and drama of MLO's contribution to that effort. Following a brief history of the observatory, information is given on current understanding of the geology of Mauna Loa. Then geophysical measurements at Mauna Loa are discussed including gas measurements, aerosol measurements, solar measurements and meteorological measurements. Finally a pictorial history of Mauna Loa is given.
