The BUNIAACIC collaboration aims to develop a coherent strategy for UK studies of atmospheric composition and impacts in the Amazon.A network of Brazilian and UK atmospheric researchers will be established to scope potential collaborative opportunities by exploiting and extending the infrastructural framework of the FAPESP AEROCLIMA Thematic Grant. An early secondment of CAS staff to São Paulo followed by a broad kick-off workshop will be used to initiate the scoping study. Potential UK activities at various stages of development will be drawn into a broader strategy of International collaboration and opportunities for further consortium scale activities will be developed. A UK office for collaboration on Amazonian atmospheric research will be established at the University of Manchester. The long-term particulate monitoring programme within AEROCLIMA will be expanded to include online aerosol composition measurements at the pristine rainforest site. Secondment of São Paulo staff to CAS will ensure adequate training is provided in the operation of the instrumentation, data analysis and quality control. A pump-priming pilot scale intensive deployment of the CAS container laboratory with additional particulate measurement instrumentation will be used to i) validate the long-term measurements, ii) quantitatively interpret the impacts of aerosol composition on physical properties of climate relevance in the context of the long-term variability, iii) act as a focal measurement suite around which a broader consortium-scale activity can be developed. A strategy for the medium and longer term collaborative efforts will be developed based on the initial scoping study and consultation throughout the UK research community. This strategy will be consolidated into a White Paper outlining the Brazil-UK collaborative opportunities and recommended participation of UK groups in Amazonian atmospheric research.

BUNIAACIC 合作旨在为英国研究亚马逊大气成分和影响制定连贯的战略。将建立巴西和英国大气研究人员网络，通过利用和扩展 FAPESP AEROCLIMA 主题拨款的基础设施框架来寻找潜在的合作机会。将提前将 CAS 工作人员借调到圣保罗，然后举办广泛的启动研讨会，以启动范围界定研究。英国在不同发展阶段的潜在活动将被纳入更广泛的国际合作战略，并将开发进一步的联盟规模活动的机会。英国将在曼彻斯特大学设立亚马逊大气研究合作办公室。 AEROCLIMA 内的长期颗粒物监测计划将扩大到包括在原始雨林地区进行在线气溶胶成分测量。将圣保罗工作人员借调到 CAS 将确保在仪器操作、数据分析和质量控制方面提供充分的培训。 CAS 容器实验室的泵启动试点规模密集部署以及额外的颗粒测量仪器将用于 i) 验证长期测量，ii) 定量解释气溶胶成分对长期变化背景下气候相关物理特性的影响，iii) 作为焦点测量套件，围绕该套件可以开发更广泛的联盟规模活动。将根据英国研究界的初步范围研究和咨询制定中长期合作战略。该战略将合并为一份白皮书，概述巴西与英国的合作机会，并建议英国团体参与亚马逊大气研究。
