We analyze spatially and temporally resolved spectra of the fundamental vibration-rotation transitions of carbon monoxide (CO) in the solar spectrum at 4.67 micrometers. Our observations imply that, in the quiet Sun, spatial variations in CO intensity are largely dynamical in nature, reinforcing the suggestion that dynamical effects play a key role in the formation of the dark CO cores. Time sequences of resolved spectra exhibit mainly 3 minute power in line-core intensity but mainly a 5 minute period in Doppler shift. The weak 7-6 R68 line shows normal Evershed flow in the penumbra of a sunspot; we find evidence for the onset of inverse Evershed flow in the strong 3-2 R14 line. Spectra at the limb indicate that 3-2 R14 emission extends approximately 360 km beyond the continuum limb.
