BRAZIL-AMAZON-ENVIRONMENT-CLIMATE-SCIENCE-TOWER-ATTO

Brazil's Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Aldo Rebelo (L), is dressed with safety gear to be the first person to climb the 325-metre-high Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO), a giant observation tower lifted in the heart of the Amazon to monitor climate change and its impact on the region's sensitive ecosystem, in the Scientific Station of Uatuma, in Sao Sebastiao do Uatuma, a municipality located in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, about 170 km from Manaus, right after its inauguration on August 22, 2015. The ATTO is a project of Brazil's National Institute of Amazonian Research and Germany's Max Planck Institute that will gather data on heat, water, carbon gas, winds, cloud formation, carbon absorption and weather patterns to monitor relationships between the jungle and the atmosphere.
