Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Daily Precipitation Standard Rain Gage Measurements, 1956 - present

Precipitation has been measured using rain gages located in or
around each watershed since 1956. Three types of raingages have
been used: standard, weight recording, and tipping bucket.
Precipitation is measured weekly at standard gages located at 24
stations in or near gaged watersheds and at the headquarters
building. Weight-recording gages are located at 7 of the 24
stations and capture a continuous strip-chart record. Weekly
totals are prorated using daily totals from the nearest
recording gage. Electronic tipping buckets are now located at
all 7 recording raingage sites and will eventually replace
recording raingages and strip charts
