GEO E111 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Rain Gauge
Document Summary
Difference between the maximum and minimum temperature for any one day: mean daily temperature. Average of the maximum and the minimum daily temperatures: mean monthly temperature. Sum of mean daily temperatures in a month divided by the number of days in that month: mean monthly minimum temperature. Sum of daily minimum temperatures divided by the number of days in that month: mean monthly maximum temperature. Sum of daily maximum temperatures divided by the number of days in that month: mean annual temperature. Sum of mean monthly temperatures divided by 12: mean annual temperature range. Difference between the highest and the lowest mean monthly temperatures in a year: k= c+273, f=( c 1. 8)+32 derive the rest from the formulas. Rain gauge is the instrument used to measure the amount of rainfall in a day. It should be made of impermeable material which can"t absorb water. It"s taken to an open space to prevent water from dropping into the funnel.
