Global CO2 columns derived from SCIAMACHY for July and October 2003. The data shows the Earth 'breathing' from space. The blue colours represent low values of CO2, while the green colours represent normal values. The levels in July are lower because plants draw down the CO2 during the growing season and release some of it back when the leaves fall off in autumn.

The image shows the global mean tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) vertical column density (VCD) between January 2003 and June 2004, as measured by the SCIAMACHY instrument on ESA's Envisat. The scale is in 10¹⁵ molecules/cm^-2. Image produced by S. Beirle, U. Platt and T. Wagner of the University of Heidelberg's Institute for Environmental Physics.
