8.4 Rainfall intensity correction
During intense rainfall, extra water can accumulate in the bucket before the tipping mechanism
tips. The following graph shows the relationship between bucket volume and rainfall rate. The
RainVUE-series includes a microprocessor that corrects for the intensity sensitivity of the bucket
mechanism. This correction adjusts the rainfall rate based on the time between bucket tips. An
electronic timer precisely measures the time between tips.
