On the correction of multiple minute sampling rainfall data of tipping bucket rainfall recorders (Short Contribution)

In the last decades of 1900s, tipping bucket rainfall gauges (TBG) were used to record sub-daily data. first period data recording, as a result lack efficient storage and transmission, sampling TBG devices was chosen in magnitude 10–20 minutes. Consequently, there are historical datasets characterized by several minutes long periods. Since turn 2000s, handling has been revolutionized; diminished one minute. There is systematic error technique which investigated since middle 1900s. Between 2004 2008, comprehensive research performed determine correction equation for devices. These results can be utilized short measurements (one minute sampling), but longer data, further corrections needed. this paper, supplementary presented. On base mathematical determination factor, simple estimation will proposed able execute necessary correction. After presentation general factor larger geographical regions wide time span measurements. The revision recorded important issues, such re-evaluation intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves, other fields.
