nullschool's video: seven month time lapse of CO2 surface concentration

This animation shows a seven month time lapse animation of CO2 surface concentrations from July 2015 until Feb 2016. The data comes from NASA's GEOS-5 numerical weather model (http://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/GEOS). A few things to notice: 1. Look for the daily "heartbeat" caused by plants changing their CO2 absorption rates between daytime and nighttime. 2. As summer turns into fall, notice how concentrations increase in the northern hemisphere as trees lose their leaves. 3. Look for urban areas where the high population density results in easily visible plumes of CO2 emissions.
