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 Guna 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 Guna 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.

圣布拉斯野外工作站（San Blas field station）于1977年成立，1998年6月1日正式关停。该工作站坐落于巴拿马加勒比海沿岸毗邻圣布拉斯角（Punta de San Blas）的一座岛屿之上，距离巴拿马运河以东120公里，地处通往巴拿马-哥伦比亚边境的中途位置。该岛屿位于古纳亚拉（Guna Yala，亦称圣布拉斯自治区（Comarca de San Blas））的西端，这片原住民保留地沿巴拿马东海岸绵延160公里。史密森尼（Smithsonian）的科研人员早在1970年便已在古纳亚拉地区开展工作。该野外工作站除支持短期生物学研究外，同时开展长期气象与生物监测工作。物理监测活动于1992年在圣布拉斯工作站启动，监测内容涵盖气温、降水量、太阳辐射、风速与风向、海平面、水温及盐度。
