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.本数据集包含巴拿马共和国加通湖中央的巴罗科罗拉多岛（Barro Colorado Island）上，史密森尼热带研究所（Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute）物理监测项目"Clearing"站点与卢茨（Lutz）、康拉德（Conrad）流域监测站的年度气候汇总数据。本说明报告汇总了两处观测点的实测数据：一处为坐落于卢茨流域内的48米步行登顶塔，该塔以10米为间隔布设传感器，可构建穿过林冠的垂直气象观测剖面；另一处为坐落于多栋实验室建筑之间的小型空地El Claro。卢茨流域位于巴罗科罗拉多岛北坡，大概率是该岛上众多小型流域的典型代表，总面积达9.73公顷，且紧邻实验室空地与宿舍区的西南侧。"Clearing"站点为一片草本覆盖的开阔区域，毗邻多栋实验室建筑，其监测站设于该区域的西北角，位于一处尺寸约189cm×183cm的围栏区域内。
