Observando as marés atmosféricas: Uma aplicação da placa Arduino com sensores de pressão barométrica e temperatura

Abstract

We present a simple experimental apparatus for studying the atmospheric tide based on the use of Arduino Uno board. With this apparatus, the physics teacher in high school can present to your students barometric oscillations, an effect mainly of thermal origin, due to the warming of the atmosphere produced by solar radiation. We also present a comparison between atmospheric tide and the gravitational effect of ocean tide, with emphasis on the differences between the two phenomena. © by the Sociedade Brasileira de Física.
