Abstract

Weather measurement systems became an important tool for the efficient operation of various economic activities. Automated irrigation systems, that improve agricultural productivity and reduce the consumption of water resources, relies on data collected by these systems, for example. Due to the inherent complexity of these systems (i.e. stations with multiple sensors communicating through multiple communication channels to cloud services), it is very important to have measures that clarify how faults behave allowing better planning of maintenance and establish a degree of systems' reliability. This work presents a study of the availability of all meteorological stations of the National Institute of Meteorology - INMET installed in the Brazilian territory in the year 2017. The results present the first analysis of this parameter and serve both for academic and commercial users, as a form of measurement of these systems' reliability, as well as for weather measurement infrastructure providers as a tool for improving the effectiveness of their maintenance policy and as a support for the strategic planning of new investments.

巴西国家气象测量系统的可用性分析

天气测量系统成为各种经济活动有效运作的重要工具。例如，提高农业生产力和减少水资源消耗的自动化灌溉系统依赖于这些系统收集的数据。由于这些系统的固有复杂性（即，具有多个传感器的站点通过多个通信信道与云服务通信），制定明确故障行为的措施非常重要，从而能够更好地规划维护并建立一定程度的系统可靠性。这项工作对2017年在巴西境内安装的国家气象研究所（INMET）所有气象站的可用性进行了研究。该结果首次分析了这一参数，为学术和商业用户提供了服务，作为衡量这些系统可靠性的一种形式，也为天气测量基础设施提供商提供了服务——作为提高其维护政策有效性的工具，并为新投资的战略规划提供了支持。
