Estación Meteorológica para la Conformación de Redes. Proceso de Instalación.

In late 2014 it installs, in the headquarters of the Faculty of Technology of the Universidad Distrital, in Bogota Colombia, a weather station for measuring and storing variables such as solar radiation, rainfall, direction and wind speed, among others, in order to have information to support research projects in the Universidad Distrital and other research centers. The station hardware uses a wireless transmission device, it is automatic, compact, easy to install, and this allows to obtain average valuesof meteorological variables in the Localidad Ciudad Bolivar, Bogota. This document emphasizes the procedure for the selection of the most suitable for mounting the weather station place, following the rules of the WMO (World Meteorological Organization), the recommendations of the IDEAM (Instituto de Hidrologia, Meteorología y Estudios Ambientales de Colombia) and the manufacturer. It is expected that the station is part of a network of stations of some universities in Bogotá belonging to the International Network for the Promotion of Research and Teaching in Rural Energy for Sustainable Development (Red PRIDERAS). Additionally it aims to be part of the network of meteorological stations IDEAM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
