Hourly Atmospheric Pressure Readings from Colombian Weather Stations

Colombian territory atmospheric pressure data recorded hourly at various weather stations, verified with basic quality control per World Meteorological Organization recommendations. The dataset is published by www.datos.gov.co and was last updated on 2026-04-03. It is intended for meteorological analysis, climatological studies, climate models, and early warning systems.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial pressure gradients using ValorObservado, Latitud, and Longitud across different ZonaHidrografica.
• Model temporal pressure trends for specific NombreEstacion using FechaObservacion and ValorObservado.
• Correlate atmospheric conditions with geography by joining pressure data (ValorObservado) with location metadata (Departamento, Municipio).

Strengths

• Data has undergone basic quality control per World Meteorological Organization standards, with erroneous values corrected or removed.
• Includes precise geolocation for each station via Latitud and Longitud columns.
• Provides sensor metadata including CodigoSensor and DescripcionSensor for traceability.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The data provider (IDEAM) states the data is raw, unvalidated, and may contain errors or transmission delays, making it unsuitable for legal evidence.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
