Measurement of precipitation

The precipitation, the amount of water per time and area, is measured with a precipitation gauge (TRwS204). The inlet is mounted at 1.44 m above the institute's roof. A rainfall of 1 mm corresponds to one liter of water per square meter of soil surface. The precipitation is also measured with the Biral SWS100 (see Visibility), but not shown here. In the graphs, the cumulative precipitation for the time period of the display is shown.
