GOAmazon

To understand the intricacies of the natural state of the Amazon rain forest, the Green Ocean Amazon, or GOAmazon, field campaign is a two-year scientific collaboration among U.S. and Brazilian research organizations. As a critical component of GOAmazon, the ARM Mobile Facility (AMF) will obtain measurements near Manacapuru, south of Manaus, Brazil, from January to December 2014.

The GOAmazon project also includes sampling from aircraft to observe aerosol formation and cloud properties at different altitudes, and Wang together with a team of scientists from Atmospheric Science Division are deploying a suite of instruments both at the surface site and onboard the aircraft.
