Ground motion hazard map for Hawaii, based on a 2% probability of exceeding 0.2 second spectral acceleration at 5 Hz in 50 years. Spectral acceleration (SA) is a unit measured in g (the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, equivalent to g-force) that describes the maximum acceleration in an earthquake on an object – specifically a damped, harmonic oscillator moving in one physical dimension.
As artificial light forms a light cloud above the land, the excess light disrupts the clear pictures taken by the telescopes. On July 1, 2013, the Hawaii Night Sky Protection Act was initiated, affecting both the Big Island and Maui. A large difference between the Hawaiian islands and the mainland United States can be observed: street lighting.
The Maui Space Surveillance Complex (MSSC) [2] is a U.S. Space Force operating location for the 15th Space Surveillance Squadron and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Haleakala Observatory on Maui, Hawaii, with a twofold mission .
Hawaii slammed by triple threat of severe thunderstorms, blistering wind, blizzard-like snow Hayley Vawter, Emilee Speck, Scott Sistek, Julian Atienza Updated January 31, 2025 at 11:13 AM
A winter storm warning was issued for the island peaks by the National Weather Service for Friday. That advisory predicted 12 to 24 inches of snow, blown and drifted by 85-mph winds, leading to ...

In spectroradiometry, spectral features can be recognized and quantified by making use of the spectra containing different parameters measured by spectroradiometers. [2] The most widely used spectral parameter in spectroradiometry for applications in geosciences is reflectance. [2] [7] Spectroradiometry can be imaging and non-imaging in practice.
Watch live as Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupts for the third time this year on Monday, 11 September. According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), the eruption temperature of Kilauea lava is around ...
