Abstract
A digital rain gauge which collects rainwater and then internally discharges the collected water in the form of individual droplets of equal volume. The discharge of each droplet is then detected and transmitted to a signal processor, which, in turn computes the amount of rainfall accumulated based upon the drop discharge rate and the determined drop volume.
