Short summary
The manuscript reports unique measurements of sub-40 nm particles and ions, especially those smaller than 10 nm, in the Amazon from December 2022 to January 2023. A large number of sub-3 nm particles and naturally charged ions were present in the Amazonia boundary layer, and they showed a clear diurnal variation. The research will contribute to a better understanding of atmospheric processes in the pristine environment.
