摘要：The Amazon region is one of the most pristine continental areas whose concentrations of atmospheric trace gases and aerosol particles are very low, mainly in the wet season. This study provides observational results of aerosol optical and radiative characteristics in-situ as well as atmospheric columnar at a pristine forest in Central Amazonia. Spectral variation of the aerosol properties (Aerosol Optical Depth - AOD), Single Scattering Albedo - SSA, and Asymmetry Parameter - AP) were evaluated using the AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) data. The SSA values under natural atmospheric column conditions (AERONET) were compared to the SSA values calculated with in-situ measurements. The values of Shortwave Aerosol Radiative Forcing (SWARF) on Top of the Atmosphere (TOA) and the SURface (SUR) were estimated using the SBDART model and were validated with the AERONET values with regression analysis. SWARF had a high correlation to TOA (0.97) and SUR (0.92), including dry and wet seasons. Monthly, seasonal and annual mean values of SWARF TOA and SWARF SUR were negative while SWARF ATM values were positive. SWARF TOA was -9.18 ± 2.80 W.m - 2 and SWARF SUR was -20.77 ± 5.04 W.m -2 in the dry season, inducing a Heating Rate (HR) of 0.37 ± 0.13 K.day -1 . This study showed that, for a long series of measurements, the effects caused by aerosols on the radiative flux in the pristine forest of Central Amazonia were of the order of SWARF TOA of -3.66 ± 1.59 W.m -2 and SWARF SUR of -11.86 ± 2.35 W.m -2 during the wet season.
