Answer 1

Answer:

A rain gauge is a meteorological instrument to measure the precipitating rain in a given amount of time per unit area.

A rain gauge is really just a cylinder that catches rain. If an inch collects in the cylinder, it means an inch of rain has fallen. It's that simple. Most standard rain gauges have a wide funnel leading into the cylinder and are calibrated so that one-tenth of an inch of rain measures one inch when it collects inside.

Measure the diameter of the bucket at the level of the rain. Subtract out twice the thickness of the walls. Measure the diameter of the bucket at the bottom in the same way. ... Find the area at the top of the bucket (this is the area over which the rain is collected).
