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. || ", "release_date": "2014-11-17T12:00:00-05:00", "update_date": "2025-01-06T01:27:16.083926-05:00", "main_image": { "id": 448934, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a011700/a011719/Still-Jan_1_2006-1920x959_print.jpg", "filename": "Still-Jan_1_2006-1920x959_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Still image - Jan. 1, 2006", "width": 1024, "height": 511, "pixels": 523264 } } ], "sources": [], "products": [], "newer_versions": [], "older_versions": [], "alternate_versions": [] }
