What we're looking at:
This global map shows concentrations of carbon dioxide as the gas moved through Earth's atmosphere from January through March 2020, driven by wind patterns and atmospheric circulation.
Because of the model's high resolution, you can zoom in and see carbon dioxide emissions rising from power plants, fires, and cities, then spreading across continents and oceans.
Global CO2 ppm for January-March of 2020. This camera move orbits Earth from a distance. Download this visualization from NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5196 Credits: NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio

"You see here how everything is interconnected by these different weather patterns."
