This report describes hourly and daily conditions of hydrographic and meteorological factors monitored on a fringing coral reef on the Caribbean coast of the Republic of Panamá from January 1977 through December 1985. The methods of monitoring are described in detail, including the performance of various types of equipment under the harsh physical conditions at this site. The data include the following variables: mean hourly wind speed and direction; maximum hourly wind speed and direction; daily maximum and minimum air temperature; hourly air temperature; hourly solar radiation; hourly rainfall; hourly water level; hourly upstream and downstream sea temperatures; and daily salinity. These values are listed directly, with statistical summaries for time of day, days, and months.
