Instrumentación electrónica de una estación meteorológica automática

Abstract

Climatological studies present a common restriction in decisionmaking based on meteorological data, since climate models often lack precise values of their parameters depending on the geographical point where the information is acquired, therefore, climate acquisition in specific geographical positions is an interesting possibility. The objective of the present study was to develop the electronic instrumentation of an automatic weather station (AWS) using a controlling medium with sensors that measure air and soil temperature (°C), relative humidity (%), solar radiation (Wm2 ) and wind speed (m/s). The acquired data were compared with commercial stations Vantage Pro (VP) and GroWeather (GW) of the Davis Instruments family where an R2 of 0.93 was obtained in Temperature and Relative Humidity of the air and an R2 of 0.94 for solar radiation. Thus, the developed AWS presents benefits in the quality of the acquired data that can be used for studies of mathematical modeling and generation of decision-making.
