SAIL rain gauge

Caption

This rain gauge will measure the amount of liquid precipitation that falls during ARM’s Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL) field campaign in Gothic, Colorado. The measurements from the rain gauge will also help scientists validate precipitation estimates from radar. The SAIL campaign, which will run from September 2021 to June 2023, will help scientists better understand how water is produced and transported in mountainous watersheds.
