Amazon Tall Tower Observatory, Research tower in São Sebastião do Uatumã, Brazil.
The Amazon Tall Tower Observatory rises 325 meters above the rainforest, collecting atmospheric data across 100 square kilometers of remote Amazonian territory.
The German-Brazilian scientific collaboration began construction in September 2014, requiring 8.4 million euros of joint governmental funding for completion.
Scientists from the National Institute for Amazon Research and Max Planck Institute work together at this facility to study forest-atmosphere interactions.
Access to the observatory remains restricted to authorized researchers and technical staff who monitor environmental parameters through specialized equipment.
The metal structure contains three research platforms at different heights, enabling scientists to measure carbon dioxide, heat flows, and wind patterns.
