Explain the structure of rain gauge
Answers
Answer:
The standard rain gauge instrument generally consists of a funnel connecting to a graduated cylinder which is marked in millimeters. It has an outer cylinder which is 20 cm in diameter and 50 cm tall. When the rainwater overflows the inner cylinder, the large outer cylinder holds it. The amount of water in the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder are taken for rainfall measurement.
Tipping bucket rain gauges has a collector balanced on a pivot. It has reed switches and magnets that are used to generate the pulses that are in turn counted by electronic circuit within the device.

Answer:
rain gauge (also known as an udometer, pluviometer, ombrometer, and hyetometer) is an instrument used by meteorologists and hydrologists to gather and measure the amount of liquid precipitation over an area in a predefined period of time. It is used for determining the depth of precipitation (usually in mm) that occurs over a unit area and thus measuring rainfall amount.
