What is How to Measure Daily Precipitation about?
When measuring daily precipitation, a rain gauge contains an outer and inner cylinder. Rain collects in the outer cylinder but is difficult to measure, so it drains into the narrower inner cylinder for a more precise reading to the hundredth of an inch. The inner cylinder has markings up to 1 inch, with an overflow notch above, and the meniscus curve must be accounted for in readings. Accurate recording of all measurements, including zeros, is important for tracking weather patterns.
