Barro Colorado Island, Clearing_Relative Humidity
Abstract
Interval avg/max/min electronic sensor Relative HumidityBarro Colorado Island (BCI),Clearing ('El Claro')Location: 9°9'47.21"N, 79°50'17.64"WThe Clearing Station was established in 1972. It is a small, fenced in area with nearby forest on two sides and open spaces on the other two. The surrounding vegetation if periodically pruned to prevent that significant changes to the local micro-climate. The station consists of a Stevenson screen with max/min thermometers, air pressure sensor and electronic temperature/humidity sensor. Two manual rain gauges and evaporation sensors are located at various locations close to the screen.Historical datasets can be located here: https://smithsonian.figshare.com/articles/dataset/Barro_Colorado_Island_Clearing_Relative_Humidity_manual/10042457
