CAFE-Brazil

An international group of researchers, with the participation of Brazilians in particular, has succeeded for the first time in unraveling the physiochemical mechanism that explains the complex system of rain formation in the Amazon, which influences the global climate. It involves the production of aerosol nanoparticles, electrical discharges and chemical reactions at high altitudes that […]

Trees emit isoprene, which reacts with other molecules and increases the production of cloud condensation nuclei 100-fold A defense mechanism that has emerged and disappeared several times over the evolutionary history of different lines of plants, particularly trees in hot environments, plays a crucial role in Amazonia in one of the most important land climate

Emissões da floresta amazônica e descargas elétricas produzem partículas de chuva Estudo demonstra mecanismo que faz isopreno – gás liberado pela vegetação – gerar grandes quantidades de aerossóis, capazes de formar núcleos de condensação Um grupo internacional de pesquisadores, com destaque para a participação de brasileiros, conseguiu pela primeira vez desvendar o mecanismo físico-químico que

Ein deutsch-brasilianisches Forschungsprojekt nimmt Messungen in der Atmosphäre vor, um den tropischen Regenwald besser zu verstehen. Wenn Joachim Curtius vom deutsch-brasilianischen Projekt CAFE-Brazil erzählt, kommt der Atmosphärenforscher ins Schwärmen. 60 Tage lang war er in der brasilianischen Tropenstadt Manaus im Amazonasgebiet, um mit dem Forschungsflugzeug HALO über dem Regenwald Messungen vorzunehmen, gemeinsam mit 70 weiteren Wissenschaftlerinnen und
