Join us today at 15.55pm Vienna time, at room 2.95 or online, while we dive into what we are discovering about the Amazon forest at #EGU2022
Many presentations from @ATTOresearch @AFEXProject and @Amazon_FACE. Super exciting!

Studying interactions between forest & atmosphere and their impact on the climate from an observatory with a 325m tall tower in the Amazon rainforest

Amazon Tall Tower Observatory
Some years ago, some of our project members starte Some years ago, some of our project members started going into the river communities along the Uatumã river, and specifically into the schools🧑🏽‍🏫. There, they gave presentations about ATTO and our research. But they also talked more broadly about science and the environment. Everyone involved really enjoyed this collaboration, and we were on the brick of expanding it when we were forced to stop during the pandemic.
But we will now restart this project, working closely with the teachers and the Secretary of Education of the region!
We have just installed the first limnimetric scales at Porto ATTO to measure the water level of the Uatumã📏. More will follow soon close to the communities. With our guidance, the school children will monitor the river levels over a full year. The rising of the river by several meters during the wet season is something they have seen all their life. Monitoring this with scientific methods, and learning more about the processes controlling this seasonal shift will hopefully be a really nice school project for them!🤓

A big thank you and to everyone contributing to this fantastic collaboration (first and foremost @cybellibarbosa), who are all organizing and realizing this on top of their normal work!🤗 Obrigada!

It has been a very rainy🌧️ wet season this ye It has been a very rainy🌧️ wet season this year. And lots of rain at ATTO always means muddy roads. Our cars going from Porto ATTO to the camp sometimes struggle with this, but thankfully the road conditions are much better now than a few years ago. SWIPE to see what the poor cars had to put up with then! 😱

Plants emit gases, volatile organic compounds call Plants emit gases, volatile organic compounds called BVOCs. They are responsible for the scents of trees and flowers, and beyond that they have lots of other functions. The most common BVOCs are isoprenoids, and they help plants attract pollinators🐝, fend off herbivores🐜 and protect leaves against heat stress🌡️. In the atmosphere, they react with other gases to form aerosols that eventually function as seeds for clouds🌧️.
But when do plants, and trees, in particular, emit isoprenoids, and which ones? How does that relate to climate, weather and ecosystems they grow in?
Eliane Gomes Alves and her team set out to study this at ATTO. They found that it's not enough to measure isoprene, the most common isoprenoid. As a reaction to heat🌡️ and drought☀️, Amazonian trees release less isoprene, but more of the other isoprenoids, like monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes.

For rain🌧️, we need clouds☁️. And for clo For rain🌧️, we need clouds☁️. And for clouds, we need both water vapor and particles for this water vapor to condense on. But not just any particles. Cloud condensation nuclei need to be of a certain size, at least something around 80 nanometers (nm). There are some particles floating in the air that already are this large, like soot particles, or biological particles like fungi and certain viruses (the coronavirus has a diameter of ca. 100 nm). But most particles are much smaller, and grow larger while they are in the atmosphere.
We have yet to learn much more about the conditions required for this particle growth to occur. So @marcomac27 and his colleagues set out to analyze a long time series of the aerosol number size distribution of more than six years. In addition, they measured numerous meteorological parameters to identify possible connections to aerosol growth events.
Such growth events are relatively rare in the Amazon rainforest and follow and pronounced diurnal and seasonal cycles. The majority take place during the daytime, and during the wet season. But the team also discovered a few remarkable exceptions.
