Title WRRCTR No. 67 Rainfall Intensity Instruments and Measurements
Creator Fullerton, Charles M. Raymond, David J.
Subject Rainfall frequencies -- Hawaii. Rain gauges. Rain and rainfall -- Hawaii.
Description Two instruments have been used to measure the rate of rainfall from tropical clouds over the windward coast of the Island of Hawaii. The Workman intensity gauge employs strain gauges to sense the deflection in a movable trough and hence the flow of water down the trough. The Raymond-Wilson gauge, a new instrument developed during this program, measures the electrical resistance of flowing water to determine the rainfall rate. These instruments were deployed in a small scale array of eight...
