The NASA-funded ACT-America campaign is conducting hundreds of flights across the United States to better track greenhouse gas movement throughout the atmosphere. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center (ORNL DAAC) is archiving this data and making it available to the public through visualization tools like this one.
