BUSTAMANTE LOZANO, Álvaro Mauricio; PAEZ MARTINEZ, Andrés; ESPITIA BARRERA, José Edilson e CARDENAS CASTRO, Estrella. Analysis of Meteorological Data to Identify and Define Climate in Yopal, Casanare. Rev. Med. Vet. [online]. 2013, n.25, pp.85-92. ISSN 0122-9354.
The purpose of this article was to analyze meteorological data to identify the behavior of relevant physical variables and to define the regional climate and microclimate of Yopal, Casanare. The records of climatic variables in a time period of thirty years at the Yopal airport weather station, supplied by the Institute of Environmental and Meteorological Studies (Ideam), were studied. Then, a climatic classification was performed, based on the most used classifications by the scientific community, such as Thornthwaite, De Martone and Koppen, in order to climatically locate the region under study. Finally, the two most important physical variables were analyzed, in terms of behavior of the microclimate of the site regarding the growth of vegetation, by its processes of evapotranspiration and water use.
