In Chapter 2 of our “ATTO through time” blog, it is time to hear from Antonio Manzi, the first coordinator of the ATTO project on the Brazilian side. He recounts the vision of Amazonian scientists to build a tall tower in the 1980s, and how it finally became a reality nearly 30 years later.

The idea of a tall research tower in the Amazon is born in the late 1990s. Prof. Andreae remembers how it became a reality.
