The tower is equipped with data collection equipment to serve research on greenhouse gases, weather conditions in Amazon, one of the largest tropical rain forests on the planet. Brazil and German scientists hope that thanks to this data system, experts can better understand the conditions of forming greenhouse gases (the cause of greenhouse effect) and answer related questions. to global climate change.

With a taller height than the Chrysler building in New York or any other high-rise building in South America, the tower can assist in observing the changes and movements of air masses hundreds of kilometers away. When completed, the tower will be integrated with the structure of smaller observation and measurement towers in the area.

The Amazon rainforest is a natural reserve in the world and is considered a biosphere reserve for humankind. Characterized by the world's most sensitive ecosystem, the Amazon forest has a great influence on the absorption and release of carbon into the atmosphere.
