Restauración y documentación de la estación meteorológica PEGASUS

Abstract

In the context of the growing problem of air pollution in Bogotá, Colombia, the project "Restoration and documentation of the Pegasus meteorological station" was carried out, addressing mainly the town of Ciudad Bolívar, because it is located in this part of the city. The aim was to modernize, document and restore the Pegasus meteorological station, to address the environmental problem and thus inform the community, seeking to promote self-care of people. The station has humidity, temperature, solar radiation, wind direction and speed sensors, sensors which were calibrated, and it also has a carbon dioxide and monoxide monitoring system. The project focused on offering the community access to detailed and constantly updated information on air quality and the weather conditions mentioned above. Using innovative technologies such as Python, FrameWorks such as Panda and Flask, HTML, CSS and JavaScript, a comprehensive data collection, processing, storage and visualization system was implemented. This solution was designed to promote environmental awareness, provide relevant information for decision-making and prevent risks associated with air pollution. The results obtained reflected a successful implementation of the proposed monitoring system, offering the community a website to understand environmental conditions and take preventive actions. This project restored and documented the Pegasus weather station, and also provides a starting point to promote environmental awareness and access to crucial information for making daily decisions, especially for the inhabitants of the locality.
