LBA-Claire 2001 Manaus experiment – rawinsoundings Gilberto Fisch (CTA) Paulo Artaxo (USP)

Manaus

Observations - undisturbed tropical forest (Reserva ZF-2 do INPA) - data collected from 2 July until 18 July, 2001 ZF-2

Observations - upper air rawinsounding system (Vaisala Oy, Finland ) with sondes RS80-15G - profiles of air temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure and winds (GPS capabilities)

Balloon with the RS80-15G RS80-15G Radiotransmission 403 MHz Surface reception – Digicora II
