Capacitance rain gauge

{
  "id": "MLC-T-MET-004132",
  "term": "Capacitance rain gauge",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A type of rain gauge that measures precipitation by detecting changes in electrical capacitance as water accumulates. The device typically consists of two conductive plates or a dielectric material whose electrical properties change when exposed to water. This change is then converted into a measurement of rainfall depth, offering a continuous and automated recording method.",
