Document Title: Transport of EXPRESSO tower and equipment in Cameroon (DI00756) Photo by Lee Klinger
Description: Logging trucks helped a truck and trailer from the National Center for Atmospheric Research navigate a washed-out road in Cameroon. In 1996, NCAR scientists and colleagues took part in the Experiment for Regional Sources and Sinks of Oxidants, which documented biosphere-atmosphere interactions taking place in and near the African tropics. Researchers collected data at two main sites--along with meteorological data throughout the study area--to explore how the vegetation and fires interact with the atmosphere. Ground-based and tower-mounted instruments and a research aircraft supported studies of biomass burning, rainforest-savanna dynamics, and the influence of tropical vegetation on global air chemistry.
