Evaporimetry in the Canal Zone. Part I. Climatological Measurements of Evaporation

Abstract

The United States Army Tropic Test Center made measurements of 24- hour totals of evaporation during conduct of the Environmental Data Base Project in the Panama Canal Zone from 1965 to 1969. In the report measurements obtained with Piche evaporimeters are compared with those made simultaneously with the Standard Pan at the same locations. The annual variation of the measurements is presented for open terrain as well as for different heights in and above a forest.
