abstract = "In 2011, an 80 m high walk up tower for atmospheric research was
erected at the ATTO (Amazon Tall Tower Observatory) site
(02°0838.8S, 58°5959.5W) in the remote Amazonian rainforest. The
nearly pristine environment allows biosphere-atmosphere studies
within an ecosystem far away from large anthropogenic emission
sources. Since April 2012 vertical mixing ratio profiles of H2 O,
CO2 and O3 were measured at 8 different heights between 0.05 m and
79.3 m. During five intensive campaigns (Oct-Dec 2012, OctNov
2013, Mar 2014, Aug-Sep 2014, Oct-Dec 2015) nitric oxide (NO) and
nitrogen dioxide (NO2 ) were also measured. Since the end of 2015
NOx measurements are performed continuously. We applied the
Multi-layer Canopy Chemical Exchange Model MLC-CHEM to support the
analysis of the observed profiles of NOx and O3 . This includes
inferring bi-directional surface-atmosphere exchange fluxes as
well as the role of the canopy interactions between the emissions,
dry deposition, chemistry and turbulent transport of trace gases.
During our investigation of diurnal and seasonal differences
between model and measurements, we conducted a set of sensitivity
studies to analyse the effects of changes in NOx -soil emissions,
in-canopy turbulence and resistances for O3 and NO2 uptake on wet
surfaces. These analyses suggest some modification in the
representation of some of the poorly constrained canopy processes
resulting in a significantly better agreement between the
simulated and measured exchange fluxes and concentrations.
Furthermore we have compared different NOx -soil emission
flux-scenarios with NOx - fluxes measured by different
techniques.",
