(7) Rain gauges are generally classified into two types:
those with 0.5 mm per pulse and those with 1 mm per
pulse. If a 1-mm-type rain gauge is used, the acquired
value represents the precipitation (mm). If a 0.5-mm-
type rain gauge is employed, the precipitation (mm) is
obtained by dividing the acquired value by 2 (scaling).
Scaling is performed by the software supplied with the
