Abstract

The automatic weather stations (EMA), fulfill important functions for the collection of data on the climatological area, allowing to know variations of the environment, and can provide information to the inhabitants. Currently in Ecuador, there are different networks that are monitoring the different meteorological aspects in the country. The objective of this research is the design and implementation of a standardized automatic weather station for the measurement of atmospheric parameters through low-cost sensors that share data in real time through a mobile application in the canton of Manta and Montecristi. A standard design was created for the implementation of more weather stations, using the small datalogger with the Raspberry Pi 3B+ microcontroller, as well as a generic use for the measurement of other sensors The design of the self-adaptive boards allows the datalogger to work more efficiently and effectively, due to the fact that it takes advantage of and stabilizes the input voltage; providing a constant output which is ideal so that there are no variations in the data being recorded in real time and in parallel for each sensor measuring solar radiation, UV index, wind speed and wind direction. From these results it can be observed that the wind direction is similar between the two stations where they are installed which is in Manta and Montecristi; both stations have a concurrence in the same direction.
