Panama Canal Authority Meteorological Summaries

The Panama Canal Authority (ACP for its initials in Spanish) maintains network of meteorological and hydrological stations located throughout the catchment of the Panama Canal. The earliest meteorological station data are from 1975. Stations include: Gatun West, Jagua, La Humedad, Limon Bay, Tranquilla, and Vistamares. Data are available in two formats (in two different files): horizontally and vertically. The data provided in this summary are based on the data as supplied by the ACP and have not been subject by rigorous quality control by STRI. The data are supplied on an as-is basis and the user must make their own determination of suitability. Care should be used with the non-hydrological data (temperature, humidity, solar radiation, wind). Solar Radiation seems to have very significant problems. These data are provide free of charge by the Autoridad del Canal de Panamá - (ACP) (The Panama Canal Authority). Any use of these data should include accreditation to the ACP.
