GW2000 & WH90 rain rate vs WH80 rain rate.

[Stephen Hocking]

Hi all,

Thanks to Gary's patience in explaining how the Seasons skin works, I was able to graph Piezo rain rate (WH90) vs the traditional tipping bucket rain rate measure (WH80) and get an idea where they start to diverge. The GW2000 offers a 5 band sort of graphic equaliser for correcting the rain rate at various rates, so this is giving me a better idea of what correction factors need to be put in place. Basically they agree at lower rain rates, but the divergence is high at higher rain rates. See below:

That's very cool!

I'll be eager to see how your regression algorithms fare on future rainy days.

Accidentally goofed - on converting my DB to metric units, I lost all my collected piezo rain data. More rain is forecast later this week though. And my tipping bucket collector is a WH40, not WH80. Someone nearby has a WH80, and it keeps on showing up on my GW2000's web page.
