San Blas, all data

The San Blas field station was established in 1977 and closed on June 1,
1998\. The station was situated on an island adjacent to Punta de San Blas, on
the Caribbean coast of Panama 120 km east of the Panama Canal, midway to the
Panama/Colombia border. That island is at the western end of Kuna Yala, an
indigenous reserve (also known as the Comarca de San Blas) that stretches
along 160 km of the eastern coast of Panama. Smithsonian scientists started
working in Kuna Yala in 1970. The field station supported short-term
biological studies in addition to as well as long-term meteorological and
biological monitoring. Physical Monitoring activities began at the San Blas
station in 1992.
Monitoring activities included the measurement of air temperature,
precipitation, solar radiation, wind speed and direction, sea level, water
temperature and salinity.
