why measuring rainfall is harder than you think

Geoprofessionals (engineers and geoscientists) are increasingly using automated field instrumentation for short- and long-term monitoring of structural health and geotechnical applications. Most are well versed in common subsurface and structural measurements such as pore pressure, water level, temperature, strain, tilt, and extension. Many projects, however,... read more

Why Do We Need an Algorithm for Rainfall Intensity Correction?

why do we need an algorithm for rainfall intensity correction?

In this article, I’ll explain how errors can occur when measuring the precipitation amount, discuss a correction approach, and demonstrate how an algorithm can be used to design high-quality tipping bucket rain gauges. Introduction Liquid precipitation (rain) is at once one of the simplest measurements mechanically and... read more
