an apparatus for measuring the amount of the rainfall at any locality, and a wind gauge indicates the pressure and force of the wind
an inexpensive device that helps the gardener determine if enough rain has fallen for garden plants
a plastic calibrated tube that measures rainfall
a special container marked evenly so that the amount that falls in a given time period in a location may be measured
a tool for measuring the amount of rain that falls in a given period of time
a tool that measures the amount of rain that falls
a weather instrument used to measure rain
Any instrument used to measure the total amount of precipitation that falls upon a given unit area during a specified time interval. Gauges can be adapted to collect snow for the determination of liquid water equivalent of snowfall. Recording rain gauges measure precipitation rates over fixed time intervals to provide an indication of rainfall intensity . Essentially all gauges are calibrated in units of depth of accumulation, e.g., millimeters or inches.
container that catches rain and measures the amount of rainfall.
An instrument for measuring rainfall.
an instrument that collects and measures rainfall. NWS will install rain gauges free of charge for volunteers participating in the Cooperative Weather Observer Program.
the instrument meteorologists use to measure the amount of rainfall
An instrument designed to measure the amount of rain that falls during a given time interval.
an instrument for measuring the quantity of rain that has fallen
is a calibrated container that measures the amount of rainfall occurring during a specific period of time.
Instrument for measuring the depth of water from precipitation that is assumed to be distributed over a horizontal, impervious surface and not subject to evaporation.
Any instrument designed to measure rain amount; includes recording, nonrecording, and rain-intensity gauges.
An instrument used to measure the amount of rain that has fallen. Measurement is done in hundredths of inches (0.01").
A rain gauge is a type of instrument used by meteorologists and hydrologists to gather and measure the amount of liquid precipitation (as opposed to solid precipitation that is measured by a snow gauge) over a set period of time.
