Summary
Monthly atmospheric turbidity measurements from Mauna Loa Observatory reveal a consistent rise in aerosols since 1958. This suggests either lingering Mount Agung eruption impacts or an ongoing trend of increasing atmospheric turbidity.
Area of Science:
- Atmospheric science
- Environmental monitoring
Background:
- Solar radiation data collection at Mauna Loa Observatory began in 1958.
- Atmospheric turbidity is a measure of air clarity, influenced by aerosols and particles.
