Description

This data visualization shows methane in Earth's atmosphere during 2021. The colors represent different sources: agriculture and waste (fuchsia), industry (blue), wetlands (green), burning forests and farmlands (yellow) and other natural (gray). Advanced computer modeling techniques at NASA's Global Modeling and Assimilation Office allow us to view the distribution of CH4 sources to better understand how methane moves through Earth's systems.
