I need another set of eyes on this....
I'm running really off with the Davis Vantage Pro2 gauge and was in the process of testing it. Originally thinking a .5" of rain is a .5" of rain, another thread in here convinced me its not. However it didn't go into much detail as to how to convert those volumes.
I'm coming up with the following: radius*radius*height*pi=volume. (or radius squared).
So if there is .53" of water in the 4" CoCoRaHS gauge..
4"*4"*.53"*pi=V which is 26.64
and to reverse to get height...
26.64/4"/4"/pi = h which is .2"
Thus if you put .53" of water from the CoCoRaHS gauge into the Davis 6.5" gauge, the Davis should give you 0.2". (which mine is currently giving 0.06")
Yes?
PS if I tip it 20 times, it registers 0.2", so it seems the switch is ok.
Anyone know how to delete data from Wunderground now? Seems I can no longer edit my info.
