Provided are a device for measuring the amount of snowfall and a method of controlling the same, the device including a bottom plate, a graduated ruler extending upward from the bottom plate, an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of the graduated ruler and an upper portion of snow deposited on the bottom plate by using an image capturing device, a measurement unit configured to measure the amount of snowfall based on information on the captured image, and a movement unit configured to move the device for measuring the amount of snowfall so that a position of the bottom plate moves from a first position to a second position.

Mobile device for measuring amount of snowfall and method of controlling the same

Described is a mobile apparatus for observing precipitation, the mobile apparatus including a bottom plate including a plurality of precipitation gauges and a movable member, a movement unit configured to move a position of the bottom plate from a first position to a second position by using the movable member, an observation time determination unit configured to determine a precipitation observation time on the basis of seasonal information, and a control unit configured to control the plurality of precipitation gauges on the basis of the precipitation observation time when precipitation is detected.

Mobile apparatus for observing precipitation and method for controlling the same

A rainwater detection device for detecting rainwater is provided. The rainwater detection device includes: a panel having a surface; rainwater sensing wires on the surface; and a rainwater sensor (i) physically connected with the rainwater sensing wires without an electrical connection if a condition is unsatisfied and (ii) physically and electrically connected with the rainwater sensing wires if the condition is satisfied; wherein a first wire, one of the rainwater sensing wires, is separated from a second wire, another of the rainwater sensing wires, by an interval, without contacting each other and wherein the rainwater sensing wires are connected to opposite polarity of an electrode connected with the rainwater sensor, and wherein the condition is that a first state where no current flows between the first and the second wires is changed to a second state where current flows between the first and the second wires due to the rainwater.
