Abstract

This Scientific Initiation project is part of the thematic project METROCLIMA (2016 / 18438-0). At the moment the project already has four operational stations for CO2 and CH4 measurements, and the station located in the East Zone, still has a CO monitor. The database is extremely valuable, unique and has the potential to study the impact of urban emissions on the balance of greenhouse gases. The training of researchers in this area is very important since there is a lack of researchers with knowledge in the area, both from an experimental point of view and from data processing.In this way, it is proposed in this IC project the treatment of data from two stations of the Metroclima project: IAG station and UNICID station. The data are the time series and CO2 and isotopes at the IAG and CO2 station, and CO at the UNICID station.
