For more than fifty years, beginning with atmospheric chemist Charles Keeling’s readings of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, MLO has provided climate scientists a continuous record of the atmosphere’s increasing concentration of carbon dioxide―and sparked the international debate over global warming.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eHawaiʻi’s\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e Mauna Loa Observatory\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etells the story of the men and women who made these and many other measurements near the summit of the world’s largest mountain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHawaiʻi’s\u003c\/span\u003e Mauna Loa Observatory\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eshould be read by atmospheric science students to gain an appreciation for the enormous effort required to generate high quality data.
