       Environmental  scientists  have  to  deal with large amounts of
       heterogeneous  data. To accomplish their scientific goals, they
       have  to  overcome data management problems that range from the
       acquisition  to  the  storage  of data. This paper is concerned
       with  solving  some  of  the  problems  at  the  stage  of data
       analysis. We developed a framework that enables the integration
       of  different  types  of data sources and detection of relevant
       events  considering  the integrated data that flows through the
       framework.  A  key  aspect  of  our  approach is that it allows
       treating  static and dynamic data sources homogeneously. A case
       study using real data from meteorological stations is discussed
       showing the feasibility of our framework.
