Rain at reference site

Yesterday we had a good amount of rain pouring down over Linköping, Sweden. So today is a good day to scan the values in the data logger to further test the equipment and check the levels that were recorded. The graph and data set is given on the soil moisture page.

It started to rain in the morning, at some 09.00 and stopped in the afternoon at some 16.00. During this time, the logger recorded 29 tips, i.e., 29 mm of rain.

In Linköping, an extreme value of 35.2 mm was recorded at one of the SMHI's stations (probably at the airforce base in town, some 5 kilometers away from our site). This means that the values are in parity, but further checking should be done, perhaps with a manual rain gauge too.
