Global Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide
Global atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations from October 1 through November 11, 2014, as recorded by NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2. Carbon dioxide concentrations are highest, in red-orange, above northern Australia, southern Africa and eastern Brazil. Preliminary analysis of the African data shows the high levels there are largely driven by the burning of savannas and forests. Elevated carbon dioxide can also be seen above industrialized Northern Hemisphere regions in China, Europe and North America.
