What Methods are Used to Collect Precipitation Data?
Several methods are used to collect precipitation data:
1. Rain Gauges: These devices measure the amount of liquid precipitation over a set period. 2. Radar Systems: These systems provide real-time data on precipitation by measuring the reflection of radio waves. 3. Satellite Imagery: Satellites offer a broad view of precipitation patterns and can track storms over large areas. 4. Automated Weather Stations: These stations collect comprehensive weather data, including precipitation.
