Analysis of meteorological variables recorded by the Universidad Continental automatic station in Huancayo, 2015

Abstract

The objective is to analyze the meteorological variables behavior recorded by the installed automatic station in the Universidad Continental, during the April and September 2015 period. The research determine the main statisticians of the studied variables, as well as its trends. From statisticians, trends and made figures for each variable, the main characteristics which describe each registered variables behavior during the analyzed period were analyzed. During this period there have been irregularities with some sensors, mainly with the solar radiation, limiting in some way the obtained results. The average solar potential calculated for this research reaches the magnitude of 5,1 kWh m-2 day-1, being august the month with the greatest potential value. The prevailing wind is in the north direction (N). The average wind speed is only 1,07 m s-1 and the maximum recorded speed took place on May 6 with a magnitude of 10,3 m s-1 to the north (N) direction. It may be considered, taking into account the time limit of this research, that 2015 was a warmer year, when compared with the monthly average values calculated for longer periods of time. The precipitations regime shows an anomalous distribution compared to other researchs addressing longer periods of time, however, the accumulated values are in the same magnitude order.
