rainfall offset.

(1/4) > >>

mkutche:
I had to get a new rain gauge and when it tips it reads 0.04" per tip unlike my other one was 0.01" per tip what would the rainfall offset be? I'm not good at math lol

Thanks
Mike

It is not an offset (as such) but a factor, factor of 4 (400%)

Strange capacity @ 0.04" per tip? So 25 tips to the inch

Basically it's metric, 1mm.  I've seen cheaper stations like Oregon Scientific that use that resolution rain gauge.

So mm to inches you divide by 25.4 = 0.03937

1 mm is a big tip size though!
