Data Set Title:	Relative humidity observations from Barro Colorado Island
Originator:	Steven Paton
Study Type:	Monitoring
Study Period:	Aug 2, 1971 to June 01, 2004 - planned to continue indefinitely
Abstract:	Daily humidity records from Barro Colorado Island by STRI as part of the T-ESP. Data are recorded manually using sling psychrometers at approximately noon at the Laboratory Clearing (SITE='CLARO *'), at the 1m, 20m, 40m & 48m levels of the Lutz Tower (SITE='1M *', '20M *', '40M *', '48M *'). Data are also recorded daily using electronic sensors at the Laboratory Clearing and at the 1m, 10m, 20m, 30m, 40m & 48m levels of the Lutz Tower (SITE='CLARO','1M', '10M', '20M', '30M', '40M', '48M'). Data are archived here.
