TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the CO and CO 2 from the boundary layer over the tropical rainforest in Surinam and found that approximately 1.2% of the global atmospheric CO 2 is converted into tropical seasonal and rainforests.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the role of oxygen dimer (O/sub 2/) in reactions initiated by its photodissociation and found that ozone formation was linear with time even though its rate of photolysis exceeded the rate of its generation from oxygen.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analysis of 2.5 yr of weekly ozone soundings conducted at a new monitoring station in Paramaribo, Surinam (6°N, 55°W), which is currently one of only three ozone sounding stations in the NH tropics, and the only one in the equatorial Atlantic region.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial distribution of the actinic flux is investigated for a realistic scattering and absorbing atmosphere with embedded two-dimensional (2D) clouds, and three different models are intercompared for computing the flux: MCC4, a versatile Monte Carlo code, SHDOM, a freely available code for solving the multidimensional integral form of the radiative transfer equation and DISORT, a widely used discrete ordinate code for plane-parallel media.

TL;DR: In this paper, boundary layer ozone and carbon monoxide were measured at a savannah site in the Orinoco river basin, during the dry and wet seasons, and the rate of photochemical ozone production by biomass burning calculated from the production ratio ΔO3/ΔCO (0.17±0.01 v ǫ:ǫ) and the amount of CO produced by fires, ranges from 0.6 to 2.6
