Air turbulence characteristics at multiple sites in and above the Amazon rainforest canopy

•Turbulence structure in and above the Amazon forest canopy.•Canopy absorbs linear momentum differs greatly between different sites.•Canopy exchanges heat with the air above differ among the different wind regimes.•The shear production is at least an order of magnitude greater than the buoyancy abov...
