Carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas released to the atmosphere through human activities. It is also influenced by natural exchange with the land and ocean. This visualization provides a high-resolution, three-dimensional view of global atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations from September 1, 2014 to August 31, 2015, showing that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can be mixed and transported by winds in the blink of an eye. Carbon dioxide variations are largely controlled by fos

As Earth warms, it's important to know how carbon flows around the planet. This visualization shows carbon dioxide (CO2) moving between the air and sea with the help of ocean surface winds. Blue = ocean taking in CO2 Red = ocean releasing CO2 More information: https://climate.nasa.gov/climate_resources/261/video-movement-of-carbon-dioxide-between-the-air-and-sea/ Video credit: NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio | NASA Climate Change
