Question about rainfall rate calculation
Posted: Wed 10 Nov 2010 12:11 pm
Hello.
For people using older oregon scientific weather stations,there is a probem with the rainfall rate,according to the manual of the weather station.
The rainfall rate reported by the station clears to zero 2 hours after the rain has stopped.Thats ofcourse a hardware related problem,but i wonder if it is possible to do something to fix the display of the rate in software basis.
I thought that if for 1 hour the rainfall ammount remains the same,then there is no rainfall occured.If thats happen then the program could reset rainfall rate to zero,and keeps a record of the previous rate.If the rate has changed to something else than zero,new rainfall rate occured.
I don't know if that solution can be done easily,but for some oregon users maybe a nice feature if it is done ok.
