It is true that this amount of water, vast as it is. nevertheless is only the proverbial "drop in the bucket." compared to all the rainfall here. The gimmick that might trick the newcomer watching the rainy season weather is that there also is an annual dry season from January to May. Most of the water to be used during those months must be stored during the rainy season. It is this necessity for storing water during the rainy season to sustain Canal operations during the dry season that causes furrowed brows among Canal officials. At the present time.

Since water passing through the Madden Hydroelectric station goes into the Chagres River and then to Gatun Lake, where it can be used to lock ships through the Canal, the water used there was not lost. But at Gatun the water which generates electric power is spilled to sea and is of no further use. During the rainy season and during a normal dry season there is rainfall enough to supply the water consumed from Mad- den and Gatun Lakes for power genera- tion. This year, however, the area above Madden Dam was the driest since the Dam was built during the mid-1930's. March and the first two weeks of April were practically rainless, except for a few scattered showers. Of 13 rainfall stations reporting, nine received no measui'able rain in March. This meant that the amount left over for electric generation, after the record number of ships had been locked up and down, was lower than at any time since 1948 when there was also a protracted dry season, but without this year's heavy lockage load. The only answer to the water problem Protracted drought and heavy lockages were a drain on Canal Zone water supply was to stop hydroelectric generation but there was still plenty of water for young Isthmians, and older ones, as well. where large amounts of water are used; that meant that the Gatun plant would Zone Use Of Water Soars practically stop its operations.

    Maritime Patrol Aviation: 90 Years of Continuing Innovation

    J. F. KEANE AND C. A. EASTERLING Maritime Patrol Aviation: 90 Years of Continuing Innovation John F. Keane and CAPT C. Alan Easterling, USN Since its beginnings in 1912, maritime patrol aviation has recognized the importance of long-range, persistent, and armed intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance in sup- port of operations afl oat and ashore. Throughout its history, it has demonstrated the fl ex- ibility to respond to changing threats, environments, and missions. The need for increased range and payload to counter submarine and surface threats would dictate aircraft opera- tional requirements as early as 1917. As maritime patrol transitioned from fl ying boats to land-based aircraft, both its mission set and areas of operation expanded, requiring further developments to accommodate advanced sensor and weapons systems. Tomorrow’s squad- rons will possess capabilities far beyond the imaginations of the early pioneers, but the mis- sion will remain essentially the same—to quench the battle force commander’s increasing demand for over-the-horizon situational awareness.

    Annual Report

    Yi.V -. \/o PANAMA CANAL COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1988 PANAMA CANAL COMMISSION Balboa, Republic of Panama OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATOR FROM THE ADMINISTRATOR It is a pleasure to submit the annual report of the Panama Canal Commission for fiscal year 1988. This ninth year of operation under the terms of the Panama Canal Treaty was a successful one. Oceangoing transits increased slightly, with Panama Canal net tonnage and tolls revenue each reflecting moderate growth of nearly 3 percent over the previous year. These increases were primarily due to the continued heavy movement of grains through the Canal, as well as greater transits by larger vessels. Transits by PANAMAX size vessels, the largest vessels the waterway can presently handle, comprised almost 24 percent of total oceangoing transits. Unfortunately, the political crisis in Panama, which began in June 1987, became more intense and remained unresolved at the close of fiscal year 1988. Canal traffic, however, continued to flow normally and maintenance, modernization and improvement programs proceeded as scheduled. These programs included the Miraflores Locks overhaul, dredging and channel improvement projects, delivery of two new tractor tugs and initiation of a project providing for the major upgrading of all locks fire protection systems. Training programs to develop and refine critical skills have also progressed smoothly, utilizing the latest techniques in the industry. Much of the training effort is geared toward preparing Panamanian employees to manage and operate the Canal. Already, more than 84 percent of Commission personnel are Panamanian citizens, with broad responsibilities throughout the organization. The outstanding accomplishments of the past year and the continued efficiency of the waterway are unquestionably the product of a dedicated and very capable work force, which has performed admirably despite difficulties precipitated by the political situation in Panama.

Four annual censuses (2002–2005) of three study populations, which were located across the isthmus of Panama, allowed me to construct stage transition matrices, and to conduct growth analysis and elasticity analysis. Differences between populations were highly consistent through time, but, contrary to expectations, hardly related to the comportment of smaller plants. For example, although average mortality rates were highest at the driest site, close to the Pacific, small plants were not predominantly affected. Similarly, although the highest relative growth rates (RGR) of individuals and the highest population growth rates (k) were found in the population with the highest moisture input, which was located close to the Atlantic coast, this was not due to a particularly strong stimulation of RGR in small plants. Elasticity analysis indicated rather small differences in the importance of the three demographic processes growth, survival, and reproduction for population growth in the three populations, but invariably identified the survival of large tanks as the single most important process determining k.
