This photo shows the air intake tube for NOAA's Picarro analyzer, which was installed on the deck at the Maunakea Observatories. After the access road to NOAA's Mauna Loa observatory was covered by lava flows from Mauna Loa Volcano's November eruption, the University of Hawaii allowed the Global Monitoring Laboratory and the Scripps Institute of Oceanography to install temporary greenhouse gas sampling sites at its astronomical observatory on the nearby summit of Mauna Kea Volcano on December 8, 2022.
