Natural Syphon’s or float type rain gauge:
The rainfall collected in the funnel-shaped collector is led into a float chamber, causing the float to rise. As the float rises, a pen attached to the float through a lever system records the rainfall on a rotating drum driven by a clockwork mechanism.
This type of rain gauge is adopted as a standard recording type rain gauge in India.
Additional InformationSymon’s gauge: It is the non-recording type rain gauge commonly used in India by the meteorological department.
Hydrometer: A hydrometer is an instrument used to measure the specific gravity (relative density) of liquids.
Hygrometer: A hygrometer is an instrument used to measure the humidity or moisture content in the air or a gas.
