Question for you guys my rain gauge supposedly holds 280mm. The lid which has the cone where the rain drips into the 25mm funnel right well the water in the outside container was higher than the bottom of the cone. I’m trying to get my head around how this works does that mean my gauge was overflowing and my data corrupted? I just don’t understand how the outer container is able to continue filling once it gets higher than the bottom of the cone where the water enters?
As long as the water doesn’t overflow the large clear container you are all good. Water always finds a level so the water being higher than the bottom of the cone doesn’t matter. In fact, the water being higher than the bottom of cone shows this is happening, the water is going into the container to get the higher level, if that makes sense. Looking forward to the final reading.
A mate of mine couldn’t find a place in his garden where he would get a clear reading. He put the cone up on his garage roof and had a hose running down to the reservoir where he could get to it. Worked a treat.
