Source: For the LMC Station, the first 3 years correspond to meteorological data supplied by the “Air Base Rafael Urdaneta” (BARU), Zulia State, located at 30 km from the station. The rest of data for that station for the following three years was provided by a pilot station installed in situ at 110 m of height in the tower of the mentioned station.
