ATTO - Amazonian Tall Tower Observatory in 2023
Together with our Brazilian and Mainz colleagues, we are contributing to the infrastructure that enables the researchers and workers there to carry out their activities on site with the greatest possible safety and reliability.
During this trip, we increased safety when climbing the 300 metre tower, carried out repairs and maintenance on many measuring devices and equipment and installed a fog collector (a generous loan from the University of Münster).... collected samples, met colleagues in Manaus and then some of our group travelled on to Tanguro (Brazil).
