The Samoa Observatory is one of five baseline observatories supported by NOAA's Climate Observations and Services Program and operated by the NOAA Research Earth System Research Laboratory, located in Boulder, CO. The observatories are part of a global network of observatories monitoring atmospheric constituents that cause climate change and depletion of the ozone layer. The observatories are located in Barrow, Alaska; Mauna Loa, Hawaii; South Pole, Antarctica; Trinidad Head, California; and cape Matatula, Island of Tutuila, American Samoa. The Samoa Observatory was established in 1974 and is located on the northeastern tip of Tutuila Island, on a ridge overlooking the South Pacific Ocean. The observatory measures ozone in the total column above the observatory. For more information see http://www.cmdl.noaa.gov/obop/index.html.
