                         Observation Study (ABRACOS) were to monitor Amazonian climate and 
                         improve the understanding of the consequences of deforestation, 
                         and to provide data for the calibration and validation of GCMs and 
                         GCM sub-models of Amazonian forest and post-deforestation pasture. 
                         Three areas were instrumented (Manaus, AM; Ji-Parana, RO; Maraba, 
                         PA), each with different soils, dry season intensities and 
                         deforestation densities (Gash et al, 1996). In each area an 
                         automatic weather station and soil moisture measurement equipment 
                         were installed, both in a primary forest site, and in nearby 
                         cattle pasture, for monitoring climate and soil status throughout 
                         the year. Additional intensive periods of study (or missions), of 
                         varying duration, were operated at these sites: for calibration 
                         purposes, to understand the physical processes relevant to each 
                         site and for detailed comparisons between sites. In this work, the

                         quality controlled main results of the ABRACOS Project, between
