A part of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Earth System Research Laboratory and Global Monitoring Division, the Mauna Loa Observatory is a leading facility that has been continuously monitoring and collecting data related to atmospheric changes ever since the 1950s. The observatory's remote location in the Pacific Ocean, air that is undisturbed and pollution-free and minimal influence of plant of human life, makes it apt for sampling Earth's background air in the cleaner free troposphere. For those who are enthusiastic about the various changes taking place in our atmosphere, this observatory is a must-visit.
