Misol rain gauge tipping bucket rain amount
-
Has someone measured what amount of rain one "tip" of the tipping bucket of the MISOL rain gauge corresponds to? It would be great to know so I can calibrate my scripts.
EDIT: I found this article that suggests it should be 0.0161 inches which is 0.40894 mm.
EDIT2: Another source is suggesting 0.2794 mm.
EDIT3: packetrat is suggesting 83.82 pulses per inch which should be 0,303030303 mm

have calculated it to 0.2794 mm per tip. -
Old topic, but my test shows .304mm per tip. I calculated the surface area as 54.7854cm^2, which is 5cm x 11cm minus the small rounded corners. I slowly poured 60cc water and counted 36 tips. Thus, spread out over the whole surface, I poured 1.09518cm of water, divided by 36 tips equals .3042173mm per tip.
