3-D Animation: See How CO2 Moves in Earth's Atmosphere
Dec. 15, 2016 - Using data from a NASA satellite perched 436 miles above Earth's surface, scientists developed a 3-D model of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for a one-year period from September 2014 to August 2015. The visualization allows scientists to better understand how CO
2 is exchanged among the atmosphere, ocean, and land.

NASA's New Global View of Carbon
A new supercomputer project reveals
how carbon dioxide moves around the globe.
Combining data from the OCO-2 satellite
with a high-resolution weather model
gives an unprecedented 3D view
of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere.
This advanced view is a step toward
answering critical questions
about carbon dioxide and Earth's climate future.
