Registadores automáticos de temperatura do tipo Tiny Talk II®
foram transformados no laboratório do Centro de Estudos Geográficos, com o
objectivo de monitorizar as variações de temperatura do ar, rocha e solo. Tratam-se
de registadores de 8 bits, com capacidade para armazenar até 1800 dados de temperatura medida a intervalos pré-definidos. A principal vantagem do sistema reside no
baixo custo dos instrumentos, na sua pequena dimensão e na simplicidade das adaptações necessárias para que sejam medidos os parâmetros referidos. Descrevem-se
na presente nota todos os procedimentos necessários para a construção dos três
tipos de sistema de aquisição de dados.
Tiny Talk II data loggers were adapted in the laboratory of the Centro de Estudos Geográficos for air, soil and rock temperature monitoring. The loggers are single-channel 8 bit devices with a 2K EEPROM memory that allows the registration of 1,800 temperature records at user-defined intervals. Temperatures are measured by NTC100 thermistors separated by the authors from the data logger for more accurate measurements. Data is transferred from the loggers into a portable computer using a RS-232 cable. It is a low cost system very appropriate for use in rough environmental conditions, particularly in mountain areas. It was successfully tested by the authors in the Antarctic, Pyrenees, Sierra Nevada and Serra da Estrela. The detailed procedures for the construction of three measuring systems are described. The air temperature apparatus is constructed using PVC tubing and protecting cases and is designed for the measurement of air temperatures at 130cm above the ground. The soil temperature monitoring apparatus measures temperatures at 1, 5, 10 and 20cm depth and is based in 4 data loggers protected from moisture and dust in an IP68 case. The rock temperature measuring system is similar to the latter but the sensors are installed in the interior of the rock and isolated using silicon glue.
