Universal rain gauge

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009891

A type of precipitation measuring instrument designed to accurately collect and measure rainfall, regardless of wind conditions or the angle of precipitation. This gauge typically features a specific aerodynamic shape or a wind shield to minimize wind-induced errors that can lead to underestimation of precipitation. It provides a standardized method for precipitation measurement across different meteorological stations.
