View full credits

Global carbon monoxide as measured by MOPITT from March 5, 2000 to March 7, 2000 is shown on a globe, which then unwraps to a cartesian projection and zooms into the African Sahel, fading to data of fires from biomass burning from the VIRS instrument on TRMM. High values of carbon monoxide are shown in red and yellow, and the large areas of missing data in white are regions not seen by MOPITT during this three-day period.
