	Rain Gauge
		The rain gauge measures the amount of liquid precipitation that falls.
		Time: 45 minutes before a rain event is predicted and 45 minutes after the end of a rain event where the gauge has been used to collect the entire rainfall.
		The rain gauge measures the amount of rain (or snow as liquid) that falls to the earth as part of the water cycle.

	TVA: Rain Gauge Data
		TVA uses self-emptying rain gauges that funnel precipitation into a bucket that tips when a certain amount of rainfall is collected.
		The gauge records the number of tips and transmits information to TVA by satellite hourly or every three hours, depending on the gauge.
		TVA also receives rainfall data from 58 gauges on the Cumberland River system that are operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and 11 gauges in watersheds throughout the Valley that are operated by the U.S. Geological Survey.

	Franklin's Forecast - Rain Gauge
		However, since most rain showers are usually quite windy, you'll want to fasten your rain gauge somewhere so that it doesn't blow over.
		The edge of a fence, away from the building, is often a good place for your gauge.
		Wait for rain, then record your measurement, and empty the glass.

	A 1-Wire Rain Gauge - Maxim/Dallas
		The classic professional rain gauge operates by filling and dumping two buckets, one mounted on either end of a beam that pivots around a central axle in a manner somewhat reminiscent of a playground seesaw (see Figure 1).
		Adding a rain gauge to the station requires only that it be connected to the 1-Wire bus by plugging it into the unused RJ11 connector on the weather station board.
		The rain gauge is a useful and desirable addition to the 1-Wire weather station and demonstrates the ease with which additional sensors may be added to a 1-Wire net.

	TRMM LBA Rain Gauge/Disdrometer Draft Operations Plan
		Although rain gauge data will be used as a reference for the radar estimation of rainfall, it is critical to establish first the sampling error of the gauges.
		The triangle design of the rain gauge cluster utilized in networks #1 and #2 was developed to capture the small scale variability of rainfall with the minimal number of gauges.
		Similar to the rain gauge and impact disdrometer tasks, the RGDS is expected to utilize assistance from scientists dedicated to other platforms (e.g., TOGA or S-POL radar crew members) to assist in the maintenance and monitoring of the 2DVDS.

	Build a Rain Gauge (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Rain data will be collected and analyzed over a period of time with opportunities to improve on rain gauge design.
		Have students select a partner (someone they were NOT with during part 1 or 2 of the rain gauge experiments.) Together, they need to design a 'home-made' rain gauge, and justify their design based on the notes they took during the presentation of student data during the mini-meteorology-convention.
		The spread sheet could calculate such things as the difference between the student gauge and the control; average or median class results; total rainfall over a given time period; etc. Students could quickly see if their rain gauge was not giving accurate results, and decide upon modifications to increase the accuracy.

	Healthy Landscapes: Rain Gauges - Your Most Important Garden Tool
		Rain gauges should be placed in an open area away from trees, buildings, and other structures, as they may cause the rain gauge to get a false reading.
		A good general guideline to follow is placing the rain gauge twice as far away from the height of an object such as a tree.
		If you obtain your own rain gauge, depending on the type, it may be made for mounting on a post with a screw, stuck into the ground with a plastic or metal spike, or stand on the ground with a special holder.

	Rain Gauge Design Differences
		A pair of rain gauges like you describe, both placed in the same area, should adequately measure the depth of the rainfall, which is what is most often expressed by our meteorologists.
		The theory behind each gauge showing a similar rain depth would be that for a given area (a square measurement of length times width), the number of droplets should be about the same (and their size should be uniform).
		The smaller gauge must be a tube with the collection area equal to the measuring area...that is, one inch of water in the collecting tube equals one inch of rain.

	The Remex Rain Gauge
		Everyone spends much time discussing the weather, especially when it's raining, but what a pleasureable pastime it can be to have your own Rain Gauge to find out how much rain has actually fallen.
		As a useful guide the gauge should be no closer to a high object than twice the height of the object, i.e.
		Although the gauge should be mounted close to the ground, an existing fence post could be used for general information.

	Rain Gauge Design Competition-Rain gauge
		Rain has always been an important factor for those communities that rely on rainwater and water in general for their livelihood, such as gardeners and farmers.
		In ancient times, the amount of rain was important to know how moist the soils were and from this they could estimate how good their crops would be.
		A rain gauge was sent to each village and used to assess the village’s potential harvest from the rainfall, which in turn determined how much the village should be taxed.

		The most common rain gauge used today by official forecasters and airports was invented over 100 years ago.
		The official rain gauge has a 50 centimeter high cylinder with a 20 centimeter in diameter funnel that collects water into a measuring tube that has exactly one-tenth the cross sectional area of the top of the funnel.
		The reason for the smaller measuring tube is so that more precise rainfall measurements can be made due to the exaggeration of the height of water in the tube.
