A UTILIZAÇÃO DE POLICLORETO DE VINILA (PVC) NA CONSTRUÇÃO DE MINI-ABRIGOS METEOROLOGICOS PARA APLICAÇÃO EM CAMPO

Abstract

This work aims to help the research in climatology, facilitating the logistics of the equipment used in data collection, and seek a reduction in costs by use more durable and lightweight materials. Comparative statistical analyzes were performed between the traditional mini-shelters of wood and the proposed use of PVC calibrated with the automatic station of INMET located on Centro Politecnico in UFPR, Curitiba, during the months of September and October 2011. Data were collected in different weather conditions (rain, high and low temperatures and humidity), explaining the final analysis a high correlation between the official data collected by sensors and mini-shelters. Thus, it was concluded that the application of mini-shelters of PVC allows a high accuracy of the data collected, showing to be highly reliable for use in research.
