GoAmazon – Clouds and aerosols in Amazonia

Description

One of the focus of the GoAmazon2014/15 experiment was to measure the impact of the pollution of Manaus on aerosol properties downwind of the plume. Aerosol filter samples were collected in several sites during the GoAmazon 2014/15 experiment. We focused on filters analysis of three sites: one upwind of Manaus (ZF2 forest site), one right at the city (Tiwa) and the downwind site at Manacapuru. Aerosols were collected in Stacked Filter Units, separating fine (dp<2.5 um)- from coarse-mode aerosol (2.5
