AGU meeting in San Francisco, USA. Special session A16. Posters in morning and oral session in afternoon, Monday, December 15. 

Data Sharing Policy: AMAZE-08 is an LBA-approved experiment. AMAZE-08 participants agree to follow the LBA data sharing and publication policy as well as the fair use policy for LBA data. All data must be deposited in Brazil by law. Paulo Artaxo maintains an ftp server for this purpose. 

Publications Procedure: Based on the experience of past Brazil experiments (CLAIRE, EUSTACH, ABLE, and so on) as communicated by M. Andreae and P. Artaxo, all manuscripts should be sent to AMAZE-08 coordinators Scot Martin and Paulo Artaxo prior to submission. The coordinators will check that no deserving co-authors have been unintendedly omitted and that publications from one group are not saying things in direct contradiction to publications from other groups, without some opportunity for the two groups to communicate and think about some reconciliation of perspectives. These procedures will ensure that the LBA data sharing and publication policy is followed.

Clarification of 9 April 2009: If the words "AMAZE-08" appear anywhere in a manuscript, a copy of that manuscript should be sent to the coordinators (i.e., Scot Martin and Paulo Artaxo). Publications can be classified as primary or secondary use of AMAZE-08 data, but even in the case of secondary use, AMAZE'rs should have an opportunity to be aware prior to seeing in the published literature (i.e., the titles should appears under "manuscript drafts" on this webpage (see further below).

Instructions for ACP special issue. Special issue entitled "Amazonian Aerosol Characterization Experiment 2008 (AMAZE-08)." The guest editors are H. Coe, R. Cohen, A. Goldstein, and J. Schneider. Authors can submit their contributions by using the online registration form on the ACP website: http://www.atmospheric-chemistry-and-physics.net/submission/manuscript_submission.html. During the registration process it is important that the correct special issue is chosen.  Link to special issue.

Data available without password protection

Instructions: contact PI noted below if you plan to use any of these data beyond 'first look'. In many cases, the preliminary data have sections that will need to be adjusted, scaled, or removed according to information available only to the PI in his/her logbook.
