A tipping bucket rain gauge measures rainfall by

  • A.counting the tips of a small calibrated bucket
  • B.weighing the total water collected continuously
  • C.measuring the depth optically with a laser
  • D.detecting the electrical conductivity of the water

Answer: A

Each tip corresponds to a fixed increment of rainfall and is recorded electronically. The design underestimates very intense rain, because water falling during the tip itself is not counted. Corrections for this loss are applied at high rates.
