Simulated CO2 Distribution over North America for Summer 2010

Caption

The study team used measurements of atmospheric CO2 and its radiocarbon content (Δ14C) to 'unmask' the contribution of CO2 from fossil fuel combustion and cement production to the observed total. This map shows concentrations of CO2 across the US in the summer of 2010.
