CANAL ZONE ANALOGS 6. ANALOGS OF CANAL ZONE CLIMATE IN SOUTH AMERICA
Abstract
Much of interior and eastern South America is climatically similar to the Canal Zone. Lowlands on the west coast north of Guayaquil arealso similar, except that over considerable areas they have much more precipitation than any part of the Canal Zone. Highlands throughout the area mapped In this study are too cool for close analogy; subtropical areas in the southern part of the area are too cool in winter. Thecoast of Venezuela, the northern Brazilian Plateau, northwest Argentina, and the west coast south of Guayaquil are much too dry for climatic analogy with the Canal Zone.
