GoAmazon2014/15 Experiment Manaus is a city of 2 million people surrounded by just forest in a radius of 1.500 Km. UNIQUE situation. The central idea... The aim of the GoAmazon 2014/15 experiment is to analyze how the emissions of pollutants of the city of Manaus interacts with the Amazonian natural biogenic emissions from the forest and how are the impacts on the climate over the forest and ecosystem functioning.

What drives light scattering and absorption for PM1? T0a ATTO - Organics versus light scattering and absorption The organics made up to 76% of the fine particles and when investigated as a function of the scattering coefficient (σ 450 ) different patterns (with different slopes) were observed over time. BC also shows different patterns but less pronounced

Transition season rainy season dry season - Somewhat enhanced values in the rainy season. From Mira Kruger and H. Barbosa - the dominant kappa value is around 0.2, with larger values for larger diameters
