Rain and Snow Gauges The Rain-Gauge 69d (fig. 1) consists of a cylindrical upper part, serving as receiver, whose aperture forms the receiving area as well as a lower part with the collecting can. The rain which falls through the aperture is led into the inner collecting can via a funnel. To avoid an extreme evaporation of the collected rain water in the collecting can, the latter is set up free all round, so that a direct heat conduction from the radiated casing to the collecting can is prevented by the surrounding air. The Rain- and Snow Gauge 69 differs from the prescribed type only in that way, that all parts as upper part, lower part, collecting can and snow cross, necessary for transformation of snow in the form of liquid water, are presented twice. The time required for the melting process is not lost therefore for continuous receiving of precipitation. In the case of snowfall the snow cross has to be put into the upper part to prevent whirling out of the snow by influence of the wind. In order to measure the height of rainfall, one takes the upper part from the hook, removes the collecting can from the lower part and empties the same into the measuring glass. The height of precipitation in mm rainfall is read off directly on the scale of the measuring glass; the scale is graduated from 0 to 10 mm of rainfall in intervals of 0.1 mm.

In the case of type 69 the observer exchanges the whole instrument after snowfall against an empty one. Then the snowfilled rain gauge is closed by the cover and taken into a warmer room. After melting the snow, the height of the melted snow may be determined by means of the measuring glass. Both types of instruments should expediently be mounted on plane terrain in such a way that the distance away from every surrounding object should be not less than twice the height of the object. This applies especially to the weatherside. The Rain Gauge is screwed by means of pertaining holder to a post in such a way that the receiving area lies horizontally and 1 m above the ground. In the case of unstable weather, there exists the possibility that a drift of atmospheric precipitation, as it may present itself at the casing's jacket by formation of a whirl, may lead to a deficit of the collected quantity of precipitation, as compared to the actually fallen quantity. Such errors in measurement can be avoided with the aid of wind shield 69w according to Woelfle, which consists of a shield of 840 mm diameter with 16 elastic blades. A joint support carries instrument and wind shield, with four stays orientating the latter towards the receiving area. The whole equipment is fastened to a tubic support of approximately 75 mm diameter which, itself, however, is not part of the delivery, in general.

Mechanical Rain Counter For measurement of the total quantity of precipitation during longer periods of time, especially in remote places, an efficient totalizer is available with Mechanical Rain Counter 89a. Having a range of 100 000 mm height of precipitation, at an accuracy of 10 mm, it may be left to itself for a long time, without any maintenance, whatsoever. Fig. 2 shows the measuring system of this instrument. There is a float with a float-rod in a chamber, which latter is coupled with the lift-counter. As soon as 10 mm of rainfall have entered the instrument, the float chamber is emptied via the glass siphon, and the float-rod switches the counter one unit ahead. After 999 emptyings, the counter commences anew from zero so that 10 000 x 10 mm = 100 000 mm of rainfall are, definitely, to be covered with a resolution of 10 mm. For measurement, the counting mechanism is, solely, to be read off at the beginning and at the end of the period of measurements. The difference of both figure-values supplies, immediately after multiplication by the factor 10, the quantity of rain fallen in the meantime. Specifications No.

Mechanical Rain Recorders Whilst simple rain gauges and rain recorders, solely, indicate the total quantity of precipitation during the period of observation, the structure of rainfall is to be seen additio-nally from the diagram of a rain recorder; i. e., the timely division, intensity, etc. An example as to the relation of these values indicates table 1, which shows how the average number of yearly rainfall decreases with increasing intensity and duration. Table 1. Intensity, duration, and frequency of rainfall in Kempten, Allgäu, during an observation period of 23 years, as acc. to Haeuser, J.: "Abhandlung der Bayrischen Landesstelle für Gewässerkunde", München, 1919 (Treatise of the State Institute of Hydrology for Bavaria, Munich). The mean yearly quantity of precipitation in Kempten amounts to appr. 1470 mm.

Three types of mechanical rain recorders are available for the different fields of application, which, with respect to receiving area and speed of recording, may be varied, yet. When making one's choice, one is always to consider the goal of measurement. Thus, for instance, one will be able to dispense, in climatological investigation, with the optimum of resolution of heavy rains which,

already, present themselves only seldom, and which are of short duration. For the sewerage engineer, on the other hand, these extremes are of special importance; e. g., for dimensioning the cross section of conduits, etc. The Mechanical Rain Recorders 95, 95y, and 95c, differ from one another in the essential by height and kind of recording. The measuring system is constructed in a similar way, in the case of all these types. As is shown in fig. 3, the round casing D carries above a sharp-edged aperture ring A, which, normally, limits the receiving area to 200 cm2. The fallen-in rain flows into the cylindrical float vessel B, lifting the float C. The motion of this latter is transmitted to the pen by means of a float rod carrying the pen arm Z. There results, thus, a trace on the diagram paper moving evenly under the pen, the more or less steep ascent of which corresponds to the momentary intensity of rainfall (fig. 4). At a certain fallen-in quantity of rain, the pen has reached the maximum value of the range. Via a correspondingly adjusted siphon H, the float vessel B is, now, being emptied within the shortest possible time, the pen arm returns to its zero-position, and the process may start, anew.

The diagram may

be evaluated at will; i. e., corresponding to the respective factors, which are of interest. An additional control of the recording is possible, also, as the water, which has flown out through siphon H, is in collecting vessel K and, therefore, the total quantity of precipitation may be determined by means of a measuring glass. Each siphoning of the float vessel is marked on the chart by a vertical interruption. If one takes as a basis that a distance of these verticals of 1 mm still allows for evaluation, one will understand that the as yet resolvable maximum intensity of rainfall is depending upon the speed of recording. One is to consider this when choosing the clockwork. Normally, all mechanical rain recorders are supplied with a receiving area of 200 cm2. If one reduces the receiving area by means of an exchangeable aperture ring No. 95r to 100 cm2, the maximum intensity, which may be covered, is doubled, naturally. The indications of the diagram are, then, to be multiplied by the factor 2. This supplementary item, which can be supplied additionally, on request, allows for adjustment to special local or seasonal requirements, therefore. Table 2, on page 7, is giving a survey of the technical data available by the three models and shows the different combinations by the possibilities of variation.

If one is to avoid that, in the case of temperatures below 0 °C, the apparatus is no longer ready for operation, Electric Heating device 95d can be fitted, even subsequently, if the case may be. In the case of this device, a thermostat controls the switch of the two incorporated electric bulbs so that temperature within the casing is kept at an approximately constant value above the freezing point. Switching temperature is adjustable on a scale. If the heating device is used, it is recommendable, however, to provide the rain recorder with an additional wooden cabinet, as, otherwise, the loss of warmth will be rather large. Rain Recorder 95, Hellmann Type (Standard Model) An illustration of this model, with drum recording, shows the cover picture, and the pattern of a chart, fig. 4. Effective recording height is 78 mm for 10 mm of rainfall. Recording is effected, therefore, appr. eight times enlarged. In the case of the usual daily rotation, the vertical lines of the recording lie, even at the high and rare intensity of rainfall for Central Europe of 2.7 mm/min, at a distance of 1 mm from each other so that these heavy rains, too, are still resolved well. A clockwork for a rotation period of 1 week can be supplied. The technical data please take from table 2, page 8. Large Rain Recorder 95y This instrument differs from model 95 in the essential by twice as large values of drum diameter, float vessel section, and effective recording height. By these measures, resolution of heavy rains is better by the factor 8, whilst recording is effected about four times enlarged. 40 mm of rainfall correspond to 156 mm of recording. In the case of daily rotation, intensities up to 20 mm/min are resolved. Further technical data, also for rotation periods of 1 week and 1 month, are shown in table 2, as well as in the specifications.

Rain Recorder 95c with Continuous Chart Recording Utilization of this rain recorder is to be recommended when it is necessary to, quantitatively, cover precipitation over a longer period of time or to record, most accurately, the timely course. The well-proven measuring principle has been adapted, unchanged, from Rain Recorder 95, the rotating drum, .however, replaced by a continuous chart recording mechanism with hand-wound spring chart drive or battery motor-operated spring chart drive or synchronous motor-operated spring chart drive (fig. 5). Also in the case of longer periods of recording is a large paperfeed applicable, therefore, which guarantees high evaluation even in the case of heavy rains. The continuous chart has a length of about 18 metres. By exchanging gear wheels, one may, according to choice, adjust paperfeed speeds of 5, 10 or 20 mm/h . All technical data are shown in table 2 or in the specifications.

Recording Precipitation Balance 95ab for Rain and Snow Recording Precipitation Balance 95ab is suited for coverage by measurement of whatever kind of atmospheric precipitation. Its recordings, largely, supply information, not only as to the total of precipitation but also about the structure, duration, intensity, and frequency of same. Losses, as may present themselves by evaporation, can be taken into account, when evaluating the diagram, as the curve is rectrograde, then. Utilization of Precipitation Balance 95ab is especially recommendable in places, in which an essential quantity of the precipitation is presenting itself as snow. The instrument is a further development of the Hellmann type snow balance but shows a number of essential advantages in comparison with this predecessor. May we point out here, only, its larger capacity, and its high degree of operating reliability. Thus, the instrument may be installed also in places, which are seldom visited. Heating for operation is not required.


R. FUESS

221-0E 12 Dez-09

The outer shape of Precipitation Balance 95ab corresponds to that of Rain Recorder 95. Here, too, the round sheet iron casing carries a sharpedged ring above, which borders the receiving area. Normally, the receiving area is of 200 cm2. It may, easily, be altered, however, to larger or smaller values by exchanging the attachment with the aperture ring. The precipitation fallen enters, directly, into a cylindrical receiving vessel which is borne by one leg of an inclined balance. Measuring principle in this case is weighing of the precipitation, therefore. The balance beam is provided with a turnable axle, which runs in easy movable ball bearings of rustproof steel. All bearings are embedded in a dustproof kind of way and oiled in anti-freezing fashion so that the high degree of response of the balance is guaranteed in the case of low temperatures, as well as after a long period of operation. The system for transmitting motion of the balance to the pen arm is so designed that, in the case of increasing precipitation, the pen arm, starting from the lower border of the chart, moves towards the upper border of same, where it reverses, automatically, and, recording in reversed sense, runs back to the lower border of the chart. In this way, recording height of 160 mm is traversed twice, and capacity of the instrument is doubled. Recording is effected by ink, in curvature co-ordinates. As the drum with the diagram paper is rotating symmetrically, the trace of a curve results which, starting from the lower border of the chart, more or less steeply climbing, corresponding to the intensity of precipitation, continues to the upper border of same. In case of further increasing precipitation, it turns downwards, until, after reaching the lower border of the diagram again and traversing the total of recording height twice, i. e., 2 x 160 mm = 320 mm, the maximum of capacity of the instrument is reached. The cylindrical receiving vessel may easily be removed for the purpose of emptying or exchanging. If one intends to cover all precipitation without loss, as far as possible, it is recommendable to use the two of the supplied receiving vessels alternately. This makes it possible, also for control of the recording, to determine the quantity of precipitation fallen by means of a measuring glass, after precipitation in solid form has been melted. At a diameter of 133 mm the drum has a height of 186 mm. By using a special driving mechanism, reliable running of the drum is guaranteed, also at low temperatures. According to the used pair of change gears, rotation is effected in 1 week, 2 weeks or in 1 month (table 3). The period of running is, in every case, approximately 35 days. The requested time for rotation must be indicated, when ordering. By exchanging the pair of change gears, however, the time of rotation may be altered also subsequently. Recording Precipitation Balance can be supplied by request with Continuous Chart Recording Mechanism, see specifications No. 95ac.
