Description
Atmospheric in situ monthly CO2 data set taken at Mauna Loa, Observatory, Hawaii: Latitude 19.5°N, Longitude 155.6°W, Elevation 3397m. The MLO station is active and generates ongoing data sets, which will be updated here as they become available. These data are subject to revision based on recalibration of standard gases. Research Data Curation Program, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/rdcp) Data Usage: The data and graphics on this website are made freely available, with the understanding that appropriate credit will be given. For applications supporting peer-reviewed scientific publications, coauthorship may sometimes be appropriate. An example would be if an important result or conclusion depends on this product, such as the first account of a previously unreported phenomenon. Ethical usage requires disclosing intentions at early stages of the work in order to avoid duplicating ongoing studies at Scripps. For applications where coauthorship is not needed, which includes all applications outside of the peer-reviewed scientific literature, it is sufficient to acknowledge the Scripps CO2 program as the source.

All archives include time series that extend back to the beginning of each record. Most users will want to use the most recent archive, which contains the latest data version as well as the most up-to-date records. The data in earlier archives may have been superseded in the latest version by updates to instrument calibrations or data filtering.
