description | In order to demonstrate the influence of geographic location of a sampling site, land cover and calendar month on the expression of thirteen indirect indicators of surface meteorology and solar radiation, the technique of information re-scaling was applied based on latitude in order to calculate the zenith angle in coordinated pairs, in coniferous forests in Mexico. This historical series of information covers a period of 22 years of daily records. Ten sampling sites were defined in five geographical localities with two absolute land covers (natural forest and deforested) with a common spatial border; this neighboring condition was mandatory for the study. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences (p < 0.05), for land cover, sampling site and calendar month. In the expression of the indices, an apparent latitudinal effect was observed of proximity to the coastline, which seems to suggest its influence on the evaluated indexes. The results suggest the extension of the database to include direct information pertaining to meteorology (wind speed and direction) and solar radiation. These data are necessary in order to characterize the response of the land cover for spectral invariance according to variations in the radiant flow, for the ratio of reflectance, absorbance and transmittance. |

Para evidenciar cómo influyen la localización geográfica del sitio de muestreo, la cubierta del suelo y el mes calendario en la expresión de trece indicadores indirectos de meteorología superficial y de insolación, se aplicó la técnica de re-escalamiento de datos basado en latitud para calcular el ángulo cenital en pares coordenados, en bosques de coníferas de México. Esta serie histórica de datos cubre un periodo de 22 años de registros diarios. Se definieron diez sitios de muestreo en cinco localidades geográficas con dos coberturas absolutas del suelo (bosque natural y deforestado) con frontera espacial común; esta condición de vecindad compartida fue obligada para el estudio. El análisis estadístico arrojó diferencias significativas (p < 0.05), para cobertura del suelo, sitio de muestreo y mes calendario. En la expresión de los índices, se observó un aparente efecto latitudinal de cercanía a la línea de costa lo cual parece sugerir su influencia en los índices evaluados. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren la ampliación de la base de datos para incluir datos directos de meteorología (velocidad y dirección del viento) e insolación, necesarios para caracterizar la respuesta de la cubierta del suelo para invarianza espectral según las variaciones en el flujo radiante, para las razones de reflectancia, absorbancia y transmitancia.
