| PSO is roughly classified as the tropical rain forest. Though the average
annual precipitation is about 1800 mm and not so many. Obvious dry season
is not observed, but modulate dry and wet periods exist, depending on years.
Most rainfall occurs after late afternoon. It can be defined as a border
type of South-east Asian tropical rain forests. Therefore, PSO is a suitable
site to evaluate how tropical rain forests change their functions under
the future possible climate change, such as the change of rainfall pattern,
temperature, air and soil humidity, radiation, and so on. |
