AQUA Satellite -- AIRS -- Atmospheric Infrared Sounder -- Carbon monoxide footprints

This video shows the carbon monoxide levels in earths atmosphere from September 2002 until June 2008. Thank you Aqua and AIRS. Nice imaging of the carbon monoxide footprint. Interactions this satellite scope have provided us with are wondersome. Great time-line on the carbon footprint! Almost 6 complete years.
Aqua Satellite was launched in May 2002. Onboard it carries the AIRS instrument which monitors earths air temperatures, greenhouse gas emission, methane, carbon monoxide, water vapor, clouds, ozone, ozone polar view, out-going longwave earth radiation Clouds in earths atmosphere promote low levels of outgoing longwave radiation. Greenhouse gases absorb certain wavelengths of OLR adding heat to the atmosphere, which in turn causes the atmosphere to emit more radiation. credits to Nasa @ http://airs.jpl.nasa.gov/maps/maps_in_motion

It's interesting to watch the pattern shift from north to south with the seasons. Seems like Spring and early summer gets the focus of activity, except for the occasional surges in various places - Central Africa, Central South America, SE Asia, and China put-off particularly big blasts. One thing I was surprised to see is that the US has a surprisingly low footprint most of the time... and that large blue area (carbon monoxide free?) right over India - what's with that? Interesting stuff! :-)

I was also somewhat surprised to see North America having a rather small footprint. To answer your question, I can't! IMO, I believe it is China err Tibet that have this massive, dense thermal blue footprint you mention. You might want to look into the Hadley Cell and it's affects. This map shows vapor uplift currents coming from the region, which bounce other pressure cells that also drive earth weather.
Oh the wonderment of high & low gradient spectrums uniting! :)
