History

* Date of establishment to be determined
* Date(?): Coffee can manual rain gauge removed and replaced with standard eight inch rain gauge. Picture are coming soon!!
* 20 August 2002 Calibration checked 14 tips with 150 mL

Panorama - This gauge is located in a parking lot bounded by trees and buildings Calibration Measurements - Calibration of this gauge should be performed as described in the users manual. Each bucket should hold 8.24 mL of water before tipping. This should occur five consecutive times. Adjust calibration screws as needed.
Extreme Events No extreme events have been observed to present.
Winter Records - Rain gauge is not heated and is subject to freezing.
Accuracy - Data should be processed through a quality control algorithm before use.
Cooperation - Baltimore Ecosystem Study; University of Maryland, Baltimore County

美国地质调查局（USGS）地形图幅：巴尔的摩西区
潜在风险：未发现任何潜在风险
建站时间：2001年1月
测站海拔：约151英尺
设备：搭载HOBO数据记录仪（HOBO Data Logger）的J&S翻斗式雨量计（J&S Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge）

历史沿革
* 建站具体日期待确认
* 日期（待核实）：移除咖啡罐式手动雨量计，更换为标准8英寸雨量计。相关图片即将发布！
* 2002年8月20日：校准核查，14次翻斗动作对应150毫升水量

场地概况：该雨量计设于被树木与建筑环绕的停车场内

校准规范：需按照用户手册所述步骤对该雨量计进行校准。每个翻斗在触发翻倒前应容纳8.24毫升水量，需连续完成5次上述操作，按需调整校准螺钉。

极端事件：未观测到任何极端事件

冬季运行情况：该雨量计未配备加热装置，易出现结冰现象

数据质量要求：使用前需通过质量控制算法对数据进行预处理

合作单位：巴尔的摩生态系统研究项目（Baltimore Ecosystem Study）、马里兰大学巴尔的摩县分校（University of Maryland, Baltimore County, UMBC）
