Trace Gas Measurements at the Pantanal

P. C. Alvalá, V. W. J. H. Kirchhoff

Abstract


The Pantanal is a floodplain region with a surface of approximately 140.000 km² located south-west of Mato Grosso and north-west of Mato Grosso do Sul States, fed by the Paraguai River and its tributaries. Topographic relief and degree of inundation divide the Pantanal into three main subregions: high elevation Pantanal "Alto Pantanal", middle elevation Pantanal "Médio Pantanal" and low-lying Pantanal "Baixo Pantanal". During the rainy season the water column changes from 30 cm to 2 m. Savana ("cerrado") is the main vegetation type. It has a tropic semi humid climate with an annual mean temperature of 25°C.
