摘要气象局研究站，莫纳罗亚天文台（MLO），海拔11，150英尺。位于夏威夷莫纳罗亚山北坡的一个地球物理观测站于1956年7月落成，并于一年后为筹备国际地球物理年指派了一名长期工作人员。历史背景，物理环境，和天文台的设施进行了描述和许多不同的科学用途的网站在近六年的存在审查。MLO目前的工作主要是持续监测太阳辐射、二氧化碳、臭氧总量和表面臭氧以及气象要素，并对数据进行分析和解释。在当地火山爆发期间和其他几个星期到一年或更长时间的时间内，已经进行了冰核计数。最近完成了一项关于大气电的广泛计划。莫纳罗亚山大气层的运动和性质正在探索作为解释观测的关键。
Abstract Weather Bureau Research Station, Mauna Loa Observatory (MLO), at an elevation of 11,150 ft. on the north slope of Mauna Loa, Hawaii, was dedicated in July 1956 and assigned a permanent staff one year later, in preparation for the International Geophysical Year. The historical background, physical setting, and facilities of the Observatory are described and the many and diverse scientific uses made of the site in the nearly six years of its existence reviewed. MLO's present effort lies principally in the continuous monitoring of solar radiation, carbon dioxide, total and surface ozone, and the meteorological elements, and in the analysis and interpretation of the data. Ice nucleus counts have been made during local volcanic eruptions and for other periods ranging from several weeks to a year or more. An extensive program in atmospheric electricity was recently completed. The motions and properties of the atmospheric envelope about Mauna Loa are being explored as a key to interpreting the observati...
