With NASA’s fleet of satellites including NASA’s new experimental Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2), scientists now have a more complete picture of how Earth is changing as carbon dioxide levels rise.Join NASA scientists on Friday, Nov. 20th from 6:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. EST and again from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST to see NASA’s first-ever global view tracking carbon dioxide levels all the way from the top of the atmosphere to Earth’s surface. Find out how these results are helping us understand how humans are changing the climate, and what it means for our future. Rising levels of carbon dioxide, which acts as a blanket trapping heat in our atmosphere, are already causing major changes to our climate -- from rising sea levels to the fact that 10 of the warmest years on record happened in the last 15 years.For more information see:"A Breathing Planet, Off Balance."Additional videos of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite.

The simulation also illustrates differences in carbon dioxide levels in the northern and southern hemispheres and distinct swings in global carbon dioxide concentrations as the growth cycle of plants and trees changes with the seasons.The carbon dioxide visualization was produced by a computer model called GEOS-5, created by scientists at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Global Modeling and Assimilation Office.The visualization is a product of a simulation called a “Nature Run.” The Nature Run ingests real data on atmospheric conditions and the emission of greenhouse gases and both natural and man-made particulates. The model is then left to run on its own and simulate the natural behavior of the Earth’s atmosphere. This Nature Run simulates January 2006 through December 2006.While Goddard scientists worked with a “beta” version of the Nature Run internally for several years, they released this updated, improved version to the scientific community for the first time in the fall of 2014.
