NASA’s Scientist
A team of scientists at NASA has for the first time ever spotted regional fluctuations in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2)
Covid-19 Pendemic
across the globe due to emissions from human activities during the Covid-19 pandemic
Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2
Using a combination of NASA satellites and atmospheric modelling, including data from NASA’s (OCO-2)
CO2 Emisssion
The team measured drops in CO2 emissions during the pandemic from space
Previous Study Investigate
the effects of lockdowns early in the pandemic and found that global CO2 levels dropped slightly in 2020
The Team Said
The results represent a leap forward for researchers studying regional effects of climate change and tracking results of mitigation strategies
