Mauna Loa Carbon Dioxide Record

Mauna Loa Carbon Dioxide Record

The Mauna Loa atmospheric CO2 measurements constitute the longest continuous record of atmospheric CO2 concentrations available in the world. The Mauna Loa site is considered one of the most favorable locations for measuring undisturbed air because possible local influences are minimal. Methods and equipment used to obtain these measurements have remained essentially unchanged during the 47-year monitoring program. This easy to use dataset contains monthly averages of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations from 1958 through 2004.
