At 2003 it was constructed of a replica of GHG system analysis at NOAA/ESRL/GMD (LaGEE – Greenhouse Gas Laboratory) measuring CO2, CH4, N2O, CO and SF6 and was installed in Brazil in 2004 at IPEN (Nuclear and Energy Research Institute). In 2015 LaGEE was moved to INPE (National Institute for Space Research)/CCST (Center for Earth System Science). The scientific objectives are to study GHG Balances over Amazon Basin, measurements at Brazilian Coast and recently study methane emissions from Pantanal, an important flooded area in Brazil.
Starting at 2013 until 2015 a project integrating vertical profiles until 7.2km height and GOSAT Satellite measurements performed comparisons in 2 kind of ecosystem: forest (RBA site) and coast SAH (Salinópolis High profiles).
Until April 2015 at IPEN it were performed 430 vertical profiles at these 7 sites. Since we moved the LaGEE to INPE/CCST the vertical profiles restart and until today we performed 50 vertical profiles, which in 2016 RBA and ALF aircraft sites running and the 3 coast sites (SAL, CAM and NAT) continue running.
In 2016 a new measurements using FTIR (TCCON new site) start to be made with a partnership of BIRA-IASB / IFRO and INPE. The instrument is installed in a IFRO campus at Porto Velho, Rondonia (8.74S, 63.87W).
In 2017 we returned the 4 Amazon sites (RBA, ALF, TEF and SAN) and add a special measurements at coast in a 100m tower at Itarema, Ceará state with weekly flask samples.
