A Rain gauge is an instrument used to measure how much
rain has fallen. There are several different types that are grouped by
how they operate: recording rain gauge, non recording rain gauge and
rain-intensity gauge.
The picture on the left shows a standard, non-recording rain gauge. The observer would measure how much rain has fallen, record that amount, then empty the gauge. |
