Howler monkeys in a British podcast! Come and hear them while I talk about the role of the Amazon in fighting the #ClimateCrisis https://t.co/FIkX2Aq96f

Emma Rae@journo_EmmaRae

New episode of #ClimateCast 🚨

@kvittozzi & @AnnaJonesSky are joined by the truly mesmerising @ashadevos & @Erika_Berenguer to talk about how our natural wonders of the world can help fight climate change 🌍 🌊 🌳

Oh - and we play jenga!!

Check this out, our own Paula Artaxo is included in a Brazilian childrens book about Sciences Superheros 🦸.
This looks really neat!

Acabei de receber o livro Super-Heróis da Ciência e… Olha quem eu encontrei! O Paulo Artaxo definitivamente é um “super-herói” nos estudos de Mudanças Climáticas e Amazônia 🤩 2

📑 In this new @EGU_ACP study study by Janaína Nascimento and her colleagues, they used data from ATTO, among other sites, to validate the simulation the performed for their study on aerosol sources, their properties and interactions: https://t.co/pQ6OSFq2DN

Our #PictureOfTheMonth is one of the most frequent visitors in the ATTO camp: this lizard is called Amazon Racerunner or Ameiva ameiva. Aren't they incredibly pretty?!🦎

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

Finally, we're back at ATTO!🥳 Or at least some Finally, we're back at ATTO!🥳 Or at least some of us. Right now, only people from Manaus can go, and only with several restrictions. But it's a start and an opportunity to get some of our fieldwork going again! So our VOC group got busy. First, they brought in a new PTR-MS to monitor forest emissions of volatile organic compounds. The mass spectrometer lives in a big, bulky and very heavy box, and getting that where it needs to be at the site is no easy task. Luckily, the boardwalk made it a bit easier to pull the PTR-MS with one of our quads (SWIPE 👉) to its new home, a lab container. Second, they installed a soil chamber to measure soil VOC emissions (👉). They had been built back in Germany, and can now finally be out to use at ATTO. Fun fact: high-tech instruments can sometimes be surprisingly low-tech - one of the main components of the chamber is a salad bowl (👉). 📷 by ATTO VOC Team. #Amazon #AmazonRainforest #florestaamazonica #ATTO #rainforest #Brazil #research #fieldwork #science #earthscience #environment #Amazonia #AmazonReseach #tropicalforests #EarthSystemResearch #climate #climatescience #ecology #forestscience #atmosphericscience #VOCs #volatileorganiccompounds #lowtech #hightech #scienceiscool #sciencelover
This is the Universidade do Estado do Amazonas (UE This is the Universidade do Estado do Amazonas (UEA @ueaoficial) with the School of Technology, Escole Superior de Tecnologia (@ueaest). It is another one of our core institutes participating in ATTO, and they have been a part since the very beginning of the project. The institute consists of low, red-roofed buildings tucked away in a corner of Manaus. It's just a few kilometers away from the INPA, and collaboration between the two is abundant. ATTO research at UEA is focused on meteorology, both from a chemical perspective (for example aerosol studies) and from a physical perspective (like understanding turbulence and fluxes). #Amazon #AmazonRainforest #florestaamazonica #ATTO #rainforest #Brazil #research #fieldwork #science #earthscience #environment #Amazonia #AmazonReseach #tropicalforests #EarthSystemResearch #climate #climatescience #forestscience #atmosphericscience #manaus #nofieldwork #sciencefromhome #researchinstitute #chemistry #physics #meteorology
This is an air inlet at the top of our tall tower. This is an air inlet at the top of our tall tower. It sucks in ambient air, pumps it down into a measurement container, where the air is analyzed for the chemical compounds it contains🔍. Eva Pfannerstill and her colleagues use it specifically to study biological volatile compounds (BVOCs) and OH total reactivity. They just published a new paper📃 about it. With comprehensive VOC measurement, they were able to attribute all OH reactivity to different compounds📊, while previous studies had a large gap in the budget, of up to 80%. Check the summary on our website (link in bio). And while you're there, also read Eva's blog where she talks about her experiences, doing those measurements in the Amazon rainforest. 📷 by Eva Pfannerstill / MPI-C #Amazon #AmazonRainforest #florestaamazonica #ATTO #rainforest #Brazil #research #fieldwork #science #earthscience #environment #Amazonia #AmazonReseach #tropicalforests #EarthSystemResearch #climate #climatescience #ecology #forestscience #atmosphericscience #talltower #researchtower #scienceiscool #scienceisawesome #VOCs #ohreactivity
