Measuring precipitation with raingauges

TL;DRAbstract

By the mid nineteenth century all basic raingauge design principles had been established, in no small part thanks to George Symons. We will now take a look at the design of modern raingauges and then at what errors need to be taken note of. Because the measurement of snowfall is even more difficult than the measurement of rainfall, for reasons that will be made clear later, a separate chapter (Chapter 9) is devoted to it.
