Yearly Reports_Barro Colorado Island

Yearly climate summaries for the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute's Physical Monitoring Program 'Clearing' and Lutz and Conrad Catchment stations on Barro Colorado Island, located in the middle of Gatun Lake, in the Rep. of Panama.This report summarises data taken from two locations: a 48 m walk-up tower located within the Lutz catchment, and a small clearing (‘El Claro’) located among several laboratory buildings. The tower, with sensors at 10 m intervals, provides a vertical meteorological transect through the forest canopy. The Lutz catchment, located on the Northeast lope of BCI, and is probably typical of many small catchment areas on the island. The catchment encompasses 9.73 ha. The Lutz catchment is located immediately southwest of the laboratory clearing and dormitory area. The Clearing is a grass-covered area located near several laboratory buildings. The station is located in the northwest corner of the Clearing in a fenced in area measuring approximately 189cm x 183cm.

本数据集收录了位于巴拿马共和国加图纳湖中心巴罗科科岛上的史密森尼热带研究所物理监测项目‘清除’以及Lutz和Conrad集水区的年度气候摘要。本报告总结了从两个地点采集的数据：位于Lutz集水区内的48米高步道塔，以及位于数座实验室建筑之间的一个小型空地（‘El Claro’）。该塔每隔10米安装有传感器，为森林冠层提供了一个垂直的气象剖面。Lutz集水区位于BCI的东北坡，可能代表了岛屿上许多小型集水区的一般特征。该集水区面积达9.73公顷。Lutz集水区位于实验室空地和宿舍区的西南侧。空地是一片覆盖着草的草地，靠近数座实验室建筑。该站点位于空地的西北角，位于一个约189cm x 183cm的围栏区域内。
