| Zusammenfassung |
| This paper elaborates on the rationale behind the proposed standard limits
for the accuracy of rainfall intensity measurements obtained from
tipping-bucket and other types of rain gauges. Indeed, based on experimental
results obtained in the course of international instrument Intercomparison
initiatives and specific laboratory tests, it is shown here that the
accuracy of operational rain gauges can be reduced to the limits of ±1% after proper calibration and correction. This figure is proposed as a
standard accuracy requirement for the use of rain data in scientific
investigations. This limit is also proposed as the reference accuracy for
operational rain gauge networks in order to comply with quality assurance
systems in meteorological observations. |
