Abstract

A Web-based Information System (WIS) is developed in an environment of Internet, utilizing the World-Wide-Web to get the public universal or private restricted accesses. Webbased Information system for profile of Wind (WIW) is a virtual information system developed to process the years collected data in the Laboratory of Anemometric of University of Passo Fundo, in Brazil. The data are measured by sensors at the heights of 20, 30 and 40 meters on an anemometric tower with 40 meters. The collected data are saved in a Datalogger, then they are transferred to a local computer by a Ramcard, and with WIW, they are uploaded to a special database and processed. Some analyses of the profile of wind during 2000-2006 are shown as an example. The system was written in PHP, with the template engine Smarty, and database MySQL.
