A
Rain gauge
💡 Explanation:
Rainfall
is measured by a precise instrument called Rain gauze. It determines the depth
of precipitation that occurs over a unit area. Thus, it measures rainfall. One
liter of rainfall per meter squared is equivalent to one millimeter of measured
precipitation. A funneled aperture of 150-170 cm is found in standard rain
gauges. They are designed as a simple passive collector. A graduated measuring
glass is used for determining the amount of precipitation.
