Global carbon dioxide levels, 2007. Map showing the global atmospheric carbon dioxide levels in the Earth's troposphere in March 2007. This is part of a sequence showing the average carbon dioxide levels increasing over seven years from 2003 to 2009, changing colour from light blue to green, yellow and red. A scale is at lower right, with the numbers indicating parts per million (ppm) over an altitude range of 3-13 kilometres. This global data is from the AIRS (Atmospheric Infrared Sounder) on NASA's Aqua satellite. For images forming part of the sequence from 2003 to 2009, see C013/0787 to C013/0792.
