That's interesting, I wasn't aware of this. Do you happen to have a link?
Maybe it's in this? It was from a lecture, but I don't remember where he got this info from...

Maybe this? It's from Meteorology at Manoa for El Nino analysis- The graphs at the end look really different for Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa

One or two commentators observed they were very ill-advised to build here (in 1956). I wondered what other folks had to say about that risk.
The structures there are built with the idea that they could be wiped out. That's why the observatories are looking at things that don't need any highly specialized equipment. The sun is close, the atmosphere is easy to sample and the microwave array is fairly small, etc. Most of the construction is quite low budget and either removable or can be abandoned. They built that big ditch in case a flow occurred, but no one knows if it would really do anything other than maybe buy them time.

Thanks, Jimbo. I think the Da Silva thesis is going to lead me somewhere when I get the chance to read it (I've only skimmed it), so appreciate the link to it.
