Picture on a platform of the ATTO tower, in the foreground white rod, in the background the view over the rainforest under bright sky with fair weather clouds.

ATTO - Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (Brazil)

The cooperation project of Germany and Brazil in the middle of the Amazon rainforest about 150 km north of Manaus operates the continuous recording of meteorological, chemical and biological data, such as the concentration of greenhouse gases. [more]

View over the Dehesa of Extremadura near the village Majadas del Tietar in the province of Caceres in Spain on a sunny day. The view goes to the north. In the distance you can see the mountains. The blue sky is full of white clouds at high altitude. Light grazed oak forest (dehesa) is seen in the foreground, it is dominated by holm oaks interspersed with some cork oaks.

MANIP - Majadas del Tietar (Spain)

Manipulation experiment with nitrogen and phosphorus in the dehesa (holm oak groves) of Spain, with extensive measurements of the ecosystem. [more]

View from the 300m high ZOTTO tower from a great height over the Russian Taiga to the horizon. In the foreground from the lower right a boom arm with 3D wind anemometer and lightning rod is visible. A very cloudy day with low clouds. In the distance you can see showers.

ZOTTO - Zotino Tall Tower Observatory (Russia)

ZOTTO, the Zotino Tall Tower Observatory, is a long-term research of the taiga as a carbon sink. ZOTTO served as a bridge of bottom-up and top-down measurements of the atmosphere and aimed to understand the complex physical, chemical and biological interactions between the boreal forest and the atmosphere.

Ambarchik (Russia)

Continuous gas concentration measurements of carbon dioxide and methane in the permafrost region of the Siberian Tundra on the Arctic Ocean. [more]

In the foreground on the left is a mast about 6 m high with a large number of sensors for meteorological measurements. In the background there is a green landscape which is characterized by "tussocks" (huge tufts of grass), in between there are a few bushes and smaller trees. In the background you can see a gray sky on which half a rainbow shines. In the lower left of the picture the wooden footbridge and wooden poles lining the path-.
