The Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO): Overview of pilot measurements on eco...
Andreae, Meinrat O.; Acevedo, Otávio C.; Araüjo, Alessandro Carioca de; Artaxo, Paulo; Barbosa, Cybelli G.G.; Barbosa, H. M. J.; Brito, Joel F.The Amazon Basin plays key roles in the carbon and water cycles, climate change, atmospheric chemistry, and biodiversity. It has already been changed significantly by human activities, and more pervasive change is expected to occur in the coming decades. It is therefore essential to establish long-term measurement sites that provide a baseline record of present-day climatic, biogeochemical, and atmospheric cond...
Long term measurements of aerosol optical properties at a primary forest site i...
Rizzo, L. V.; Artaxo, Paulo; Müller, Thomas; Wiedensohler, Alfred; Paixão, Melina; Cirino, Glauber G.; Arana, Andréa A.; Swietlicki, ErikA long term experiment was conducted in a primary forest area in Amazonia, with continuous in-situ measurements of aerosol optical properties between February 2008 and April 2011, comprising, to our knowledge, the longest database ever in the Amazon Basin. Two major classes of aerosol particles, with significantly different optical properties were identified: coarse mode predominant biogenic aerosols in the wet...
Long term measurements of the elemental composition and optical properties of a...
Arana, Andréa A.; Artaxo, Paulo; Rizzo, L. V.; Bastos, WanderleiAerosols are being collected and analyzed for trace elements in two sites in Amazonia since January 2008. On eof the site, Manaus is located in a very pristine area in Central Amazonia. The site is nt affected directly by any urban plume for thousands of kilometers. A second site is located in Porto Velho, in a region with heavy land use change and deforestation. Optical properties (light scattering ad absorpti...
An overview of the Amazonian Aerosol Characterization Experiment 2008 (AMAZE-08)
Martin, Scot T.; Andreae, Meinrat O.; Althausen, Dietrich; Artaxo, Paulo; Baars, Holger; Borrmann, Stephan H.; Chen, Qi; Farmer, Delphine K.The Amazon Basin provides an excellent environment for studying the sources, transformations, and properties of natural aerosol particles and the resulting links between biological processes and climate. With this framework in mind, the Amazonian Aerosol Characterization Experiment (AMAZE-08), carried out from 7 February to 14 March 2008 during the wet season in the central Amazon Basin, sought to understand th...

General overview: European Integrated project on Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air ...
Kulmala, M.; Asmi, A.; Lappalainen, H. K.; Baltensperger, U.; Brenguier, J. L.; Facchini, M. C.; Hansson, H. C.; Hov, Ø.; O'Dowd, C. D.; Pöschl, U.In this paper we describe and summarize the main achievements of the European Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality Interactions project (EUCAARI). EUCAARI started on 1 January 2007 and ended on 31 December 2010 leaving a rich legacy including: (a) a comprehensive database with a year of observations of the physical, chemical and optical properties of aerosol particles over Europe, (b) comprehensive aerosol mea...
