Site Access:
The Mauna Loa Observatory remains closed to the general public. Since the site will be an active construction zone for the next two years, NOAA staff are tightly scheduling site access for mission-critical activities only to ensure personnel safety. All visitors require explicit authorization to access the site.
Site Power and Construction Update:
NOAA does not have a date for commercial power restoration, but is actively engaging with local utility provider, HELCO. Concurent to HELCO repairing power lines and poles, site power and network infrastructure upgrades will be occuring at MLO. GML will provide updated timelines for restoring power back to campus buildings when an updated construction schedule is available - full power restoration is likely several months after HELCO repairs the grid.
The components for the new 40m high sampling tower arrived onsite at
MLO. GML will be reaching out to partners impacted by the tower
replacement, and will provide a timeline for the installation when
available.
