Non-Recording Rain Gauge

A recording rain gauge records the amount of precipitation, while a non-recording rain gauge shows how much rain has fallen. This type of rain gauge cannot tell you when the rain began, when it stopped, the intensity of the rain, or how much the intensity of the rain varied throughout the storm.

Here is the working principle of the non-recording rain gauge.

• A diameter of 12.7 cm is the collecting area on a non-recording rain gauge typically.
• The funnel is joined to the circular collecting area.
• The funnel’s purpose is to release the gathered rainfall into the receiving vessel.
• The circular collector’s rim must be positioned at a height of approximately 30.5 cm above ground level on a horizontal plane.
• A metallic container is used to store the set-up of the circular collector and the discharging funnel.
• Allowing the rain to collect in the container allows it to be accurately measured with a graduated measuring jar.
• The measuring jar has a 0.1 mm accuracy range.
• In order to determine the depth of the water, rainfall is measured in mm or cm.
• Simon Rain Gauge is a non-recording type rain gauge consisting of a funnel and a receiver.
