WET/DRY PRECIPITATION SAMPLERS  

Definition

  • Precipitation samples are collected with wet/dry collectors or bulk samplers. The wet/dry collector is the preferred precipitation sampler and consists of a bucket that is open only during periods of wet (rainfall, snow, etc.) precipitation. During dry periods the sample bucket is covered, thus excluding dry-fall precipitation from the sample. [Summary provided by USGS] (en)
