ENVIRONMENTAL DATA BASE FOR REGIONAL STUDIES IN THE HUMID TROPICS

Abstract

Monthly microclimatic data summarized in this series of reports were collected by the US Army Tropic Test Center and the Weather Engineers of Panama Corporation under the project, Environmental Data Base for Regional Studies in the Humid Tropics. The project is sponsored by the Advanced Research Projects Agency of the Department of Defense and by the Army Research Office, Office of the Chief of Research and Development. It is an investigation of microclimatic, air chemistry, vegetation, soils, microbiological, and macrofaunal conditions at selected sites in the principal tropical environments of the Panama Canal Zone and the Rio Hato Military Reservation.
