Abstract
This paper presents a containerized service for clustering and categorization of weather records in the cloud. This service considers a scheme of microservices and containers for organizations and end-users to manage/process weather records from the acquisition, passing through the prepossessing and processing stages, to the exhibition of results. In this service, a specialized crawler acquires records that are delivered to a microservice of distributed categorization of weather records, which performs clustering of acquired data (the temperature and precipitation) by spatiotemporal parameters. The clusters found are exhibited in a map by a geoportal where statistic microservice also produce results regression graphs on-the-fly. To evaluate the feasibility of this service, a case study based on 33 years of daily records captured by the Mexican weather station network (EMAS-CONAGUA) has been conducted. Lessons learned in this study about the performance of record acquisition, clustering processing, and mapping exhibition are described in this paper. Examples of utilization of this service revealed that end-users can analyze weather parameters in an efficient, flexible and automatic manner.
