PPT-PRECIPITATION GAUGE NETWORK

LECTURE 5 PRECIPITATION GAUGE NETWORK To have an idea of areal distribution of precipitation there should be adequately planned rain gauge network There are two reasons to plan a network Catch area of a precipitation gauge is very small. These gauge cock can be used to isolate the gauge from process or to bypass the process for gauge maintenance Featur es Variety of process connection Variety of sizes to suit the application Different type of selections to suit technical requirement Design and Technology – Rain Gauge Project . Name___________. Date ___________. Designing & Evaluating . Level 1. Evaluate the process and product, identifying where improvements have been made. . Existence of the Gauge Particles. Gauge transformations are like “rotations”. How do functions transform under “rotations”?. How can we generalize to rotations in “strange” spaces. (. Basic concepts. TSM 352. 7/3/2013. Sid verma.
