Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA) Vapor Pressure Data

LBA is the Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia project. The LBA-HydroNet V1.0 is the prototype version of a regional hydrometeorological data bank to support water sciences and water resource assessment in South America, Central America, and the Caribbean, using joint pan-American scientific and monitoring station information resources. The Climatic Research Unit (University of East Anglia) database (New et al, 1999) contains long term monthly averages (1961-1990), of mean vapor pressure, for the terrestrial surface of South America, gridded at 0.5 degree longitude/latitude resolution. Interpolated from station data. The data was resampled at 0.1 x 0.1 degrees by the RiverGIS program (&http://www.wsag.unh.edu/&). The data values range from 0.009895 to 3.195579 kPa/month.
