Abstract:
This is the first of a new series of yearly reports summarising each past year’s meteorological and hydrological monitoring program on Barro Colorado Island (BCI) that the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute maintains as part of its Terrestrial-Environmental Sciences Program (T- ESP). This report is not meant to be exhaustive in its coverage in that it summaries only some of the most ‘important’ or interesting parameters available. Any comments on how future yearly summaries could be improved would be appreciated.
