The effect of the presence of the rain gauge on the rainfall measurement. 2, record 1, English, - Jevons%20effect
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
In 1861, W. S. Jevons pointed out that the rain gauge causes a disturbance in airflow past it, which carries past the gauge part of the rain that would normally be captured. The effect is a function of the wind speed and the height of the gauge from the ground. Rain-gauge shields have been devised to minimize this loss. 2, record 1, English, - Jevons%20effect
