CAM Hydrometeorological Station Data for the Alto Magdalena Region

Corporación Autónoma Regional del Alto Magdalena (CAM) provides hydrometeorological data from its automated monitoring network. The dataset includes periodic measurements of precipitation, temperature, humidity, water level, solar radiation, and wind. Data is published as open information for public consultation and institutional transparency, with a basic quality control applied.

Use Cases

• Predict flood risk using nivel_agua_(m), precipitacion_(mm), and velocidad_superficial_agua_(m/s) from available columns.
• Model microclimate patterns using temperatura_(°C), humedad_relativa_(%), and radiacion_solar_(W/m2) from available columns.
• Analyze wind patterns for renewable energy potential using direccion_viento_(°) and velocidad_viento_(m/s) from available columns.
• Correlate atmospheric pressure with weather events using presion_barometrica_(hPa) and other variables from available columns.

Strengths

• Dataset includes 18 specific measurement columns covering key environmental variables.
• Data is geolocated with latitud and longitud columns for spatial analysis.
• Available in multiple machine-readable formats including CSV, JSON, XML, and RDF.

Limitations

• Row count and total dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• The provided last updated date is 2026-05-15, which is in the future, suggesting potential metadata inaccuracies.
