Most of the CO2 concentration variability is in the Northern Hemisphere, especially north of 60°N. This variability “whips” its way towards the southern hemisphere. There is also a persistent “bulge” in the concentration of CO2 that resides in a zone between the equator and about 45°N, and this is particularly apparent in the low pass “residue” plot.
A more accessible, open data-sharing infrastructure will engage a broader community of contributors, helping to develop satellite data products that benefit Earth science research and applications.
Scientists conducted a study that reveals how lightning detection has improved scientific understanding of explosive volcanism and how this can be used to better predict volcanic eruptions. The perfect storm-explosive eruptions can produce lightning observed around the world.
