LA MEJORA Y AMPLIACIÓN DE LOS DATOS CLIMÁTICOS DE LA RIOJA PARA SU APLICACIÓN EN EL DISEÑO DE INSTALACIONES TÉRMICAS

Abstract

The objective of this study is to have reliable temperature data in order to make a better procedure when carrying out projects of heating and air conditioning for homes in the municipalities of the Autonomous Community of La Rioja. Objective methods using continuous interpolation at all points in space to determine the temperature climate mapping with seasonal resolution is necessary because of the complexity climate related to the relief of La Rioja. For that, techniques of geographic information systems were applied considering the maximum, minimum and average temperatures as the main variables. Mapping was obtained with the absolute maximum, absolute minimum and average temperatures that can be found in the different municipalities of the Autonomous Community of La Rioja. Data of the absolute maximum temperatures for the months of June, July, August and September were included, besides data of absolute minimum temperatures for the months of January, February and December. Figures about the relative maxima and relative minima temperatures were represented as well. It is about obtaining reliable data that will be improved in the future by Universal Kriging method. This method has been adapted to the situation of La Rioja and has been contrasted with our database.
