Likelihood of greater activity rises due to record-warm sea surface temperatures
University of Hawaii, NOAA to gather climate change data following Mauna Loa eruption
NOAA will partner with the University of Hawaii (UH) to collect atmospheric measurements at the Maunakea Observatoriesoffsite link on the Big Island of Hawaii. These measurements will provide records of global carbon dioxide (CO2) similar to those gathered for more than six decades at NOAA’s Mauna Loa Observatory (MLO), and will provide key information to track global climate change.
