ARAGON-MORENO, Juan Antonio; SERNA-CASTANO, Erika Daniela  and  SOLANO-ROMERO, David Steven. Climatological study of the winds for the city of Bogotá in the period 2010-2016. Entramado [online]. 2019, vol.15, n.2, pp.286-307. ISSN 1900-3803.  https://doi.org/10.18041/1900-3803/entramado.2.5733.

In Colombia, there is a lack in wind weather studies, since those that currently exist do not apply statistical techniques or adequate representative periods. Therefore, the present study analyzes the wind weather behavior in the city of Bogotá, for the period 2010 to 2016, seeking to describe this weather variable statistically spatially and vectorially. To begin with, a statistical analysis of the data set, of the wind speed, was performed using the Windographer© software, using the exploratory techniques for the Weibull distribution, thus describing the statistical parameters of the stations in the main areas of the city. Similarly wind roses were made per season, using the WRPLOT ™ software; and, finally, a vector map was made using the Co-Kriging interpolation method, using the ArcGis® geographic information system. Noting that the atmospheric circulation regime in Bogotá is closely related to the presence of the eastern hills and the predominance of trade winds; Likewise, it was found that the highest wind speed is presented to the southwest, and the weakest magnitudes, to the north and in proximity to the eastern hills.

Keywords : Wind speed; wind direction; wind rose; weibull distribution; interpolation; atmospheric circulation; urban climatology.
