Desarrollo e implementación de un prototipo de estación hidrometeorológica automatizada con intervalos personalizados de toma de datos

Abstract

This monograph describes the development process of a prototype of an automated hydrometeorological station, which provides information on precipitation detection, air quality (CO2 in ppm), ambient temperature (°C), relative humidity (%) and wind speed (m/s). The sensors used in the prototype are properly calibrated. The elements and components follow the considerations of the Instituto de Hidrología, Meteorología y Estudios Ambientales (IDEAM), which follows the recommendations of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The language used to create the programming of the prototype was Processing, from Arduino. Through the interface, users enter the time in seconds, with an interval from one (1) second to 36000 seconds, to measure climatic data. This is achieved through the prototype interface with which the user will interact, allowing him to adjust the time interval according to his specific needs, to expand the data acquisition possibilities. The information is visible on the prototype's screen and is transferred to the web platform via telemetry. The prototype's web page provides convenient access to hydrometeorological data and simplifies monitoring, eliminating human error by manually transcribing the data. This prototype drives the development of expertise in civil engineering fields such as hydrology and interdisciplinary disciplines such as electronics, fostering a broad and diverse approach to understanding climate and its measurements.
