A cloud computing based framework for storage and processing of meteorological data

Abstract:

This document shows an analysis of emerging technology for the recovery of meteorological data and its cost-benefit using GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) data transfer in automatic meteorological stations to improve the monitoring and the pbkp_rediction of the atmosphere and inland water behavior in Ecuador. In different areas of study comparisons between data or generated registers coming from Automatic Weather Station (AWS) and Conventional Weather Station (CWS) have been made. Therefore, here the authors mainly underline the importance of storing meteorological information using cloud computing. Among the benefits of cloud computing there are high data availability access and high efficiency in technical/scientific studies at lower cost due to the decrease of local investment in technological infrastructure, upgrades, maintenance of equipment and applications.
