description = {{ This data visualization shows the global distribution and variation of the concentration of mid-tropospheric carbon dioxide observed by NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory 2 (OCO-2) for the period January 2015 till February 2022. One obvious feature that we see in the data is a continual increase in carbon dioxide with time, as seen in the shift in the color of the map from blue/purple to orange/yellow as time progresses. Another feature is the seasonal variation of carbon dioxide in the northern hemisphere, which is governed by the growth cycle of plants. The seasonal cycle is more pronounced in the northern hemisphere than the southern hemisphere, since the majority of the land mass is in the north.}}
