✨ What is Keeling Curve ?
👉It is a graph of the accumulation of carbon dioxide on the Earth's atmosphere based on continous measurements taken at the Mauna Loa Observatory on the island of Hawaii from 1958 to the present day.
👉The curve is named for the scientist Charles David Keeling , who started the monitoring program and supervised it untill his death in 2005.
👉Keeling's measurements showed the first significant evidence of the rapidly increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
👉 It measures daily CO₂ concentrations in parts per million (ppm)
👉 The curve has a sawtooth pattern due to seasonal changes in plant growth:
•Spring/Summer (Northern Hemisphere): CO₂ levels drop as plants absorb CO₂.
•Fall/Winter: CO₂ levels rise as plants die and decay.
