Solid precipitation measurements are strongly affected by wind-induced errors, due to the aerodynamic response of catching type gauges. The snowflakes deviate from their undisturbed trajectories due to the alteration of the airflow field around the body of the gauge and the corresponding developed turbulence. The resulting effect consists in a...

From May to September 2013, a selected number of observed rain events has been selected in order to assess the effectiveness of the calculation algorithms employed to calculate the rainfall intensity (RI) for two tipping-bucket rain gauges (TBRs). For its accuracy and precision, a drop counter catching-type gauge has been selected as the...
