Estudio de la microdinámica atmosférica de las zonas altoandinas de la provincia de Chimborazo

Abstract

In the study of the high Andean zones of Chimborazo it was found that there is a lot of irregularity of the terrain, so it is difficult to reach accurate results in the study of atmospheric dynamics, also there are not many studies related to the subject, this causes that you must find the necessary constants for the equations of the calculations found therefore the objective of this work was to calculate the thermal and mechanical flows, developing a mathematical modelling for this area using the network of stations of the Group of Alternating Energies and Environment (GEAA), the methodology implemented in this study was of quantitative approach, a data treatment was performed to obtain average data per hour, day and month, for which a mathematical modelling was performed to calculate the latent heat flux, sensible heat flux, ground heat flux, friction velocity and OBUKHOV length. An iteration of the equations was carried out and the results obtained were very close to the real results. By means of the methodology used, it was determined that the atmosphere is unstable, and the data do not have similarities in the different areas where the study was carried out. It is concluded that the atmospheric stability graphs are almost stable during the day, from 6:00 to 8:00 it is almost neutral, but from 17:00 to 18:00 it is very unstable, at night there is a thermal inversion which becomes stable at the San Juan station; during the day it is unstable, according to Pasquil’s classification.
