 ====== Mauna Loa Observatory ======
+{{:station:station_mlo.jpg?600|}}\\
+Mauna Loa Observatory (MLO), situated on Hawaii’s Mauna Loa volcano, is an atmospheric baseline station operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Under an agreement with NOAA, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) owns two Brewer instruments at the site (009 and 119), which NOAA maintains. During calibration visits, ECCC also deploys one or occasionally two Triad instruments to conduct absolute calibrations. MLO’s high elevation, equatorial location, and minimal local pollution make it an optimal site for these measurements

-Mauna Loa Observatory (MLO) is an Atmopshereic baseline station located on Mauna Loa, on the island of Hawaii US. This site is own and operated by the National Oceanic Atmosphere Administration (NOAA). With an agreement, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has 2 Brewer situated at the site (009 and 119). During the the calibration visits to MLO, ECCC usually would bring 1 or two other Triad instruments to perform an absolute calibration as MLO is one of the best location to do so. Due to its high elevation, close proximity to the equator and low pollution makes MLO is one of the locations that are being used to done absolute calibrations.
