Parametrización de Estaciones Meteorológicas a Bajo Costo para la Caracterización Masiva de Microclimas Urbanos en Bogotá.

Abstract

Context: The climate of a city like Bogotá is extremely complex and variable, which can significantly affect the daily life of its inhabitants. Microclimates, which are small-scale climate variations, can have a particularly large impact on air quality, thermal comfort, and public health. However, we still know very little about the distribution and characteristics of these microclimates in Bogotá. That is why this thesis addresses this problem with the parameterization of the design and implementation of low-cost weather stations for the massive characterization of urban microclimates in the city.

Method: The project will be carried out through applied technological research, using a mixed study approach that involves various techniques and methods to collect and analyze data. This includes the analysis of documents, the use of theoretical-scientific knowledge, experimental designs and the study of structural and situational contexts.

Results: A comparison of the data obtained by the proposed forecast station with the data of three meteorological stations close to the installation site was made. Some variations were found in the measurements taken, which were lower in variables such as temperature, humidity and rain, and higher in variables such as wind speed and direction. Regarding implementation times, a notable reduction was found with respect to robust stations in the city of Bogotá

Conclusions: A way to parameterize the design and implementation of meteorological stations was found, taking a microclimatic approach from already existing projects, resulting in a station capable of evidencing the problems raised through the measurements obtained and in turn giving a solution to it.
