Leveraging power of supercomputers, model integrates billions of data points from ground observations and satellite instruments to create a map that is over 100 times more precise than conventional wear models.
This remarkable level of detail allows scientists and policymakers to pinpoint specific emission sources, such as power plants, industrial hubs, and urban areas, and track dispersion of CO2 across vast distances.

visualisation is particularly significant for India, a nation grappling with rapid industrialization and a growing population. model offers invaluable insights into country's carbon footprint and complex interplay between human activities and atmospheric conditions.
With movement of CO2, researchers can identify hotspots and develop targeted strategies to mitigate emissions and improve air quality.
