NASA Maps Shed Light on Carbon Dioxide's Global Nature ***

#Six of eight ovens have been used to date.

#NASA's Phoenix mission is led by Peter Smith of the University of Arizona

#The team's study reveals new information on how carbon dioxide, which directly contributes to climate change, is distributed in Earth's atmosphere and moves around our world.

# The findings are based on data collected from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument on NASA's Aqua spacecraft between September 2002 and July 2008.

# Chahine, the instrument's science team leader, said the research products will be used by scientists to refine models of the processes that transport carbon dioxide within Earth's atmosphere.

#This belt had not previously been seen in the four chemistry-transport models used in this study.
