This composite image shows the fraction of the photosynthetically available radiation that was absorbed by land vegetation for photosynthesis in the continental United States during the period March 24-April 8, 2000. The image shows the proportion of sunlight actually absorbed by plants versus the total available energy in those wavelengths ...

Global Carbon Sinks Organized by Intensity - Yellow, Red, Blue, Purple
All living organisms contain carbon. Organisms that absorb more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than they emit are called "carbon sinks." Those that emit more carbon dioxide than they absorb are called "carbon sources."
Rainforests and oceans are ...

Estimates of ocean heat content and sea surface temperature
Top graph: Comparison of our upper-ocean heat content with previous estimates (red1 and blue12) for the upper 700 m. The straight lines are linear fits to the estimates. The global mean stratospheric optical depth(arbitrary scale) at the bottom indicates the timing ...
