Se reporta la evaluación de un instrumento de bajo costo, desarrollado por los autores, para la medición continua y autónoma de las concentraciones de NO 2 , SO 2 , NO, H 2 S, CO, PM2.5 y PM10 en una zonas urbanas, el mismo que ha sido puesto a prueba en un punto ubicado en el distrito de Bellavista, provincia del Callao, Lima, Perú. Se presentan los resultados obtenidos para un lapso de tres meses de observación. Dichos resultados son consistentes con los valores esperados para una zona de escaso tránsito vehicular y por ello de baja contaminación.

Extreme rains have been observed in the north of Peru, the impact of these rains over the present infrastructure in the cities is important, this due to the high vulnerability of the zone. The events happen mainly in summer. Therefore, fourteen cases of extreme rain have been selected, those that registered during the December and March of 2001 and 2002. In the present research an evaluation of the numerical rain simulation is made in north of Peru. Use a regional model atmospheric call RAMS (Regional Atmosphere Modeling System). It has been implemented in the North zone of Peru using the nesting technique to reduce the resolution. The evaluation of the rain simulation is made measuring the correlation between registered rains and the simulated ones by the model RAMS. The results show a greater correlation for the high river basin, an intermediate value of correlation for the average riv...
