The design of an accurate rain gauge with the ability of real-time reading
Jílek, Jiří ; Mašek, Pavel (referee) ; Možný, Radek (advisor)
Rainfall estimation using point-to-point microwave links is a promising way to expand the rain gauge network in the future. However, this opportunistic measurement method is still in the research phase and faces several problems. This paper focuses on one of the problems of this research area, namely the insufficient number of existing rain gauges on the path of the microwave link for the correlation of measured data, by designing a portable rain gauge using data transmission to a remote server using narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT ) technology. To expand its capabilities, the device is also equipped with temperature sensors and a light level sensor. The device is designed with an emphasis on desirable low energy consumption, as it should be able to measure data even without the reach of the electrical network. The outcome of this work is the verification of the functionality of the device in a real environment and the evaluation of its suitability for the intended use case.
