The 335m high observation station project is about to be completed, with data collected expected to be used in studies on climate change and weather.
The observation tower was built in the Amazon rainforest, about 160km from the city of Manaus, Brazil.The tower is 335m high and is bright orange in color, striking among the forested canopy under the ground.
A worker is painting orange for the tower.It is expected to go into operation in July.
According to Brazilian and German experts, the observation tower can provide research information about the Earth's reaction to indirect changes from climate change.
Information recorded from a height of more than 300m above the ground will help scientists observe and evaluate changes in cloud formation and weather patterns.The equipment system of the tower simultaneously collects air pollution data.
To complete this work, construction workers use iron and materials transported from many kilometers away.
One of the key questions that scientists hope the observation tower will help them find is that Amazon is providing carbon to the environment or vacuuming them.This may help to investigate the impact of climate-related deforestation.
Amazon Tower operates 24 hours a day, collecting data all day and night.It links to the Mauna Loa atmospheric observatory in Hawaii, USA and Zotino in Siberia, Russia, providing an overview of climate change over the past 60 years, and humanity will continue to influence how is that
Researchers hope that it will affect people's consciousness and actions before it's too late.
The Amazon rainforest is a natural reserve in the world, considered a biosphere reserve for humanity.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.
