Where and how should rain gauge be placed to ensure accurate rainfall can be collected and measured?
To measure the accurate rainfall the rain gauge should be placed on the highest place with a humid climate.
How do we measure rainfall?
Rainfall is collected in containers using funnels, whose open cross section is known. The volume of water is measured and then divided by the cross section to give a measure of the height of water that would have fallen.

Usually small distances. You may get rainfall measured in mm.
A continuous record of rainfall is measured by which instrument?
A continuous record of rainfall is measured by a rain gauge. Although it is impossible to measure all the rainfall in a specific area, a rain gauge can give meteorologists a good idea of how much rain has fallen in an area.
Why the houses in Rajasthan have flat roofs?
There is very scanty rainfall in Rajasthan. There are flat roofs so that even if there is some rainfall, the water can be collected in the roof.

No, it is measured like snow and then lumped into snow accumulation.
Why the houses of rajasthan have thick walls and flat roofs?
It provides insolation from the high temperature. and as there is very scanty rainfall there are flat roofs so that even if there is some rainfall, the water can be collected in the roof.

Catchment area. All the land where rain falls and runs into rivers and dams.
What is the percentage of the rainfall in a dry desert?
Your question makes no sense. Rainfall is not measured in percent but in inches or millimeters. I desert is defined as a region that receives less than 10 inches (260 mm) of rainfall per year on average.
Why is rainfall measured in mm and not milliliters?
Because they measure how deep the rainfall is, they are not measuring the volume of the rain. The depth is measured because it is not important to know the total amount of rainfall that falls, because an area of indeterminant size is not so much affected by the total amount of water that falls, but the amount of water that falls on an area of given size, which is best represented by the depth of… Read More
What is the units used to measure rainfall and humidity and wind?
I think rain is measured in millilitres (ml).
What does average rainfall mean?
If, for example, the rainfall is recorded once every week for a whole year, and the recorded results added together, the average would be the total divided by the number of weeks in a year. This will give the average amount of rain that fell during the whole of the year.
What is the definition of rainfall quantity?
The quantity of rainfall is measured either in inches or millimetres. For instance, a weather forecaster might say that two inches (or millimetres) of rain fell last night.
What is the highest amount of rainfall that has fallen into Lake Eyre?
Lake Eyre rarely gets its water from rainfall. The water that fills Lake Eyre comes mainly from the river systems which drains into it, so rainfall into Lake Eyre cannot really be measured.
Why is rainfall measured in inches?
because it fell downward and extreme can be known in inces upto the souce or its origin.

Rainfall is not measured in gallons but in inches. A desert is a region that receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of rainfall per year on average per year.
Where is rainfall collected?
Rain lands in the mountains and runs into streams and rivers. If the river is dammed, then the water is collected behind the dam. It can be used for irrigation, to supply drinking water to communities, and to generate electricity through hydro-electric power. It is also collected from rooftops into rainwater tanks, which can store water for garden or personal use.
What are non-river valley civilizations of the world?
The only civilization that I can think of is the Mayans, they built large reservoirs that collected their very frequent rainfall.
Why does Kauai have the greatest erosion?
It is the wettest spot on earth measured by average yearly rainfall. 450 in of rain = lots of erosion.
What is rare in the Atacama Desert?
Rain is very rare in the Atacama Desert. Some areas have not measured any rainfall in historic times.
What is the weather measured in?
It would depend which property of the weather you wish to measure. Wind strength or wind speed. Rainfall. Temperature etc. Each is different.
What is the dependent variable of an experiment?
Dependent Variable: - Something that might be effected by the change in the independent variable - What is observed - What is measured - The data collected during the investigation :)

The SVTPerformance website offers information on different aspects of the SVTP. One of the things that is measured by the website is how much oil is collected by the SVTP.
How is rainfall measured?
Displayed by a linear measurement like the US Customary Inches or the Metric System. Rainfall is collected by a collection container (rain gauge) that can vary in shapes from a straight sided cylinder to a funnel shape leading to a calibrated measuring device. If the rain gauge is a simple cylinder then simply measuring the amount of water in the cylinder with a ruler would tell you the amount of rainfall if there was no… Read More
