CO2/biosphere correlation, with dates   3638   Correlation Between Tropospheric Carbon Dioxide Concentration and Seasonal Variation of the Biosphere
This visualization is a time-series of the global distribution and variation of the concentration of mid-tropospheric carbon dioxide observed by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on the NASA Aqua spacecraft. For comparison, it is overlain by a graph of the seasonal variation and interannual increase of carbon dioxide observed at the Mauna Loa, Hawaii observatory.   3562   Aqua/AIRS Carbon Dioxide with Mauna Loa Carbon Dioxide Overlaid
This visualization shows Aqua/AIRS mid-tropospheric carbon dioxide from July 2003. Low concentrations, 360 ppm, are shown in blue and high concentrations, 385 ppm, are shown in red. In the southern hemisphere, a belt of mid-tropospheric air containing enhanced concentrations of carbon dioxide emerged between 30 and 40 degrees south latitude. This belt had not previously been seen in any chemistry transport model.   3555   Aqua/AIRS Sees Belt of Carbon Dioxide in Southern Hemisphere with Winds
In the 1950's, the South African government decided to produce gasoline and chemicals from their plentiful natural supply of coal. The South African Coal liquidation plant also exports carbon dioxide. This image shows AIRS carbon dioxide data from July 2003.   3554   Aqua/AIRS Sees Belt of Carbon Dioxide in Southern Hemisphere
Carbon monoxide near Greece (without date labels)   3449   Fires in Greece as seen by Aqua/AIRS
AIRS is providing the global background of carbon dioxide. This animation shows the monthly averaged carbon dioxide and monthly averaged static wind vectors from July 2003.   3441   Aqua/AIRS Carbon Dioxide
This visualization shows global carbon dioxide from July 2003 at 8 km. Low concentrations are shown in blue and high concentrations are shown in red.   3440   Aqua/AIRS Global Carbon Dioxide

The color overlay represents the brightness temperature observed in one of the HSB channels. The most important color is blue, which indicates intense convection and likely rain cells. Green generally indicates thick clouds, while red indicates thin low clouds. (Microwave, unlike infrared, penetrates clouds and looks into them or even through them.)   2657   Super-Typhoon Pongsona Visualized from AIRS Instrument Suite Data
