Impact of COVID-19 on ATTO

We have minimized our field activities at ATTO due to COVID-19 since last week. Researchers will not travel to ATTO to collect samples or make measurements until further notice. For now, a small core team will continue taking care of our long-term measurements.

Wind-tree interactions in the Amazon: INVENTA

We have recently taken a big step to further expand our research with the INVENTA/ATTO project to study. Led by Daniel Marra and Susan Trumbore, we want to investigate wind-tree interactions in the Amazon. Our goal is to integrate research on tree architecture and bio-mechanics with atmospheric and biogeochemical processes.

New maps show carbon #emissions and removals from forests anywhere on 🌍. We can now measure emissions anywhere-- from small local parks or the total #carbon sink of the Congo Basin.

This new paper on #dust deposition in the Amazon used ATTO data to validate their method 🤓
By looking at lake sediments 🧐 they found out that it doesn't all come from the Sahara! Published by @juhjohns in @CommsEarth.⬇️ https://t.co/iKkxETm1ms

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
#ThrowbackThursday It's the wet season in the Amaz #ThrowbackThursday
It's the wet season in the Amazon, and for our ATTO team that usually means working in challenging conditions. Some days, it rains so hard that it's impossible to be out and about all day. The towers are off-limits then. The slippery steps and the risk of lightning make it too dangerous. That's the time to work inside the lab containers.
On other days it might be tantalizingly dry. Until you get caught in an unexpected shower, that is (SWIPE).
Everything is different this year of course. ATTO is still closed due to the pandemic. And while we are stuck working from home, all we can do is recall the smell of the forest after the rain.

HIGH-tech time! Today we'll hear from meteorologis HIGH-tech time! Today we'll hear from meteorologist Jeová Ramos da Silva Junior. 

"HelIo, am a Jeová and got my master's investigating how biomass burning 🔥might affect photosynthesis inside the canopy of the Amazon Rainforest. This might seem far-fetched at first, but one of the main drivers of photosynthesis is radiation ☀️. When there are plumes of biomass burning in the atmosphere, the number of aerosols in the atmosphere increases🏭. And those particles reflect and diffuse the radiation in the canopy. Consequently, the radiation can reach a larger number of leaves. This leads to an increase in the rates of photosynthesis, which we can observe through the removal of atmospheric CO2.

For my work, I measured radiation with sensors and then fed the data into a computer simulation, a 3D radiative transfer model called DART👨‍💻. One of the coolest features of DART is that you can recreate very detailed, realistic scenarios, like a 325 meter tall tower in the middle of the rainforest.🤓

I remember that one clear night at the institute I was waiting for the model to finish running. I used the time to make the first graphics and could observe the movement of the shadows of the trees 🌳 throughout the day. In these shadows, there were small details, such as gaps where the direct sunlight passed freely until it reached the ground. It was a very remarkable moment for me because besides checking the realism of the model it was all very beautiful.💚"

Look at those Giant Otters!! What a rare treat to spot a group of them, curiously eying the boat 😍
I might be prejudiced but I think otters are some of coolest animals around. Who agrees with me?!

Come join us at #vEGU21 at the Amazon session conv Come join us at #vEGU21 at the Amazon session convened by scientists from ATTO and @amazonface.
You have until Jan 13 to submit your abstract. And you know how crazy this last day always is. So do it now rather than later.
We're hoping for a diverse session and are proud to have the new #EDI label! This virtual version of EGU makes it as easy as it ever was for people from around the world to join, without the effort of international travel. Don't miss this great opportunity.
