Continental map of carbon. 

Scaling up even further, NASA has also been able to produce continuous maps of the carbon stored in vegetation over the whole U.S. using existing satellite data. As shown here, green indicates higher levels of storage and light areas lower levels. You can also see the Maryland-Pennsylvania-Delaware tri-state region outlined on this map, as well as a second region in CA-Sanoma county, where the high-resolution products presented here are being prototyed. These very high resolution products are also being used to test the coarser national map estimates where the data overlap.
