Site Description
The ATTO tower is located about 150 Km Northeast of Manaus, in a protected primary forest site. The site do not have any local air pollution sources, and the wind direction is mostly from the Northeast. The site receives pristine air masses that have passed only over forest area for more than 2000 Km. Occasionally we receive air masses from the Sahara desert and from biomass burning emissions from Africa.
