Abstract
The Hawaii observatory is located at 190 34’ latitude, 1550 30’ longitude and 4207 sq m area. The island of Hawaii is built from fine separate shield volcanoes that erupted somewhat sequentially one overlapping the other. Moderate to strong trade winds carry as and vog from Kilauea volcano around the southern tip of the island. Ninety-nine percent of the gas molecules emitted during a volcanic eruptions are water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (Co2), and sulfur dioxide (So2). The remaining one percent is comprised of small amounts of hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, and other minor gas species. The most critical factors that determine how much vog impacts any area are wind direction and speed. Where and how bad the vog is ultimately depends on several additional factors including air temperature, humidity, and rainfall emitted from Kīlauea Volcano. The Co2 atmosphere concentration measured at Mauna Lao observatory (MLO). Hawaii have been used by advocates of anthropological global warming (AGW) as a bell weather of climate. Carbon dioxide concentrations in units of parts per million (PPM) have been measured daily and monthly have been averages reported since 1958. We have analyzed Co2 data from 1958 to 2014, So2 data from 1979 to 1997, CH4 data from 1992 to 2001, rainfall data from 1920 to 2012, temperature data from 1955 to 2015 and ozone data from 1958 to 2014. Here We have analyzed and interpret to draw the line graphs and bar graphs in the following parameters ozone, carbon dioxide, methane, temperature and rainfall. We find the following parameters i) Co2 gradually increased from 1958 to 2014 ii) CH4 gradually increased from 1992 to 2001 iii) The So2 gradually increased and decreased from 1979 to 1997 iv) Mauna loa Temperature increased from 1955 to 2015 and Opihihale Temperature increased from 1965 to 2010 v) Rainfall increased and decreased from 1920 to 2012 vi) Ozone increased and decreased from 1958 to 2014.
