Desenvolvimento de um plugin no qgis para tratamento de dados disponibilizados pelo inmet

Abstract

Databases store information about various climatic variables, such as radiation, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and precipitation. The collection, processing, and sharing of this information are carried out through specific software, with data obtained from conventional or automatic stations, as well as through orbital sensors or radar systems. With a vast array of data, it becomes possible to create isolines, graphs, and maps. These systems provide people with the ability to track the location and movement of objects in the space around the Earth. These data can be processed to create continuous surfaces displaying variables such as temperature, pressure, or altitude. The database of the National Institute of Meteorology (INMET), which stores meteorological information, is updated every hour. However, for data analysis dating back more than the last 6 months or for temporal analysis, the excess of data becomes overwhelming for each station. Therefore, the development of an add-on in QGIS aims to work with meteorological stations obtained from the INMET database, with the aim of optimizing time, retrieving data according to the period, and generating a georeferenced shapefile for each station.
