abstract = "Tropical forest represents significant sources/sinks for trace
gases (C02, O], CH4), and the exchange of CO2 between forest and
the atmosphere is an important component of the global carbon
cycle because of its greenhouse effect. The secular increase of
C02 concentration is reasonably well defined (Keeling and Whorf,
1994) but a full comprehension of C02 cycles for different biomes
and its impact on climate and ecology is not well understood.
Baldocchi et al. (1996) have addressed this issue based on the
conclusions of a workshop to discuss the strategies for monitoring
and modeling CO2 fluxes over terrestrial ecosystems. The diurnal
cycle of atmospheric CO2 reflects the exchange of metabolic carbon
between the atmosphere and the vegetation-soil system. The typical
behavior of CO2 concentration shows an increase during the night,
when soil emissions and respiration combine as a source of CO2 to
the atmosphere and start to decrease during mid morning when
atmospheric CO2 is taken up by the vegetation. The nighttime CO2
flux is positive, reversing its sign (to downward) in the early
morning. Although the nighttime CO2 flux above the canopy is a sum
of aIl CO2 released by the vegetation and the soil, the
atmospheric stability near the canopy does not allow mixing
between the rich CO2 air inside canopy and that above it.
Fitzjarrald and Moore (1990) have observed some events (waves)
that occur during the night in the Amazon forest and associate
these events with periods ofhigher turbulent mixing between the
canopy and the atmosphere, leading to increasing of values of C02
exchange. They point out that these events occur on average 5
times during the night with a time interval ranging from 25 to 60
minutes .They also noted that these events happen when the
windspeed above the canopy is typicallyaround 1.8 m S.I. Grace et
al. (1995) noticed that in the early morning there was a higher
flux ofC02 out ofthe canopy due to the onset of turbulence. They
pointed out that the onset of turbulence disrupted the stable
layer at lhe crown, allowing mixing between air, wich has been
accumulating CO2, and the atmosphere. They have called this
phenomena the moming ventilation and it has high values of C02
flux the maximum value observed in tropical forest (at
Rond{\^o}nia) is +20 ?mol m-2s-l.",
