IAG Platform - MCity Brazil Project

In the micrometeorological platform of IAG-USP are carried out measurements of:

  • Global solar radiation (pyranometer,starded 1997);
  • Diffuse radiation (pyranometer and shadow band device, starded 1997);
  • Direct beam (pyrheliometer and a sun tracker);

 
  • Longwave emission form the atmosphere (pyrgeometer)

 
  • Air temperature e relative humidity;
  • Atmospheric pressure;
  • Rain;
  • Net radiation and albedo (starded 2009);
  • Wind speed and direction (started in 2010);
  • Turbulence:  Ux, Uv, Uz (starded in 2012);
  • CO2 and H2O (starded in 2012);

  

These observations are taken continuously since April 1994 on the campus of the University of São Paulo, Butantã, West side of São Paulo city (23.4°S, 46.7°W, 742m). All measurements are carried with sample frequency of 0.2 Hz, and are stored as 5 minutes average values. The Micrometeorological Platform is localizated in Rua do Matão, 1226 - São Paulo/SP - Cidade Universitária.

The main goal of these observations is to evaluate the urban characteristic of the microclimate of São Paulo city and the role played by the atmospheric pollution.
