A sensitive tipping-bucket rain gauge
Year: 1974 Journal: Review of Scientific Instruments Vol: 45 (10)Pages: 1268-1270 Publisher: American Institute of Physics
Abstract
A sensitive tipping-bucket rain gauge has been developed which measures rainfall in increments of 5×10−3 mm with an accuracy of better than 0.1%. The gauge is being used to determine the relationship between millimeter wave attenuation caused by rainfall and rainfall rates from 0.3 to 30 mm/h.
