 +===== Mission =====
  
- +The ECOTOWER is a contribution to ecological research in the Amazon basin. An eddy covriance system is used to determine vertical turbulent fluxes within the local atmospheric boundary layer above caopy.  
 +This method is used to support the analysis of $CO_2$ balance in the soil - vegetation - atmosphere system.
