Valoración de la claridad atmosférica con base en medidas de radiación solar global obtenidas en el sector centro - oriente de Bogotá

Abstract

Solar radiation is the main source of energy for life on our planet, it is attenuated by different physical and chemical phenomena when interacting with the atmosphere, the study of the energy dissipated and/or transformed allows establishing an overview of the local atmospheric state, all this quantized through the atmospheric clarity index. In this sense, in this work the statistical - descriptive analysis of the atmospheric clarity index was carried out for the IDEAM BOGOTA - CENTRO station located in the central - eastern sector of Bogota in the town of La Candelaria with the purpose of comparing it first with the distribution of curves designed by Badescu in which the shape measures (kurtosis and asymmetry) for the daily atmospheric clarity index are found and second with the Iqbal scale which defines the type of day based on the atmospheric clarity index. All this development for the period between December 1, 2013 and September 30, 2018.
