Efeito da altura de instalação dos pluviômetros no registro da precipitação.

Abstract

This work aimed to evaluate the rain gauge height installation influence in the rain precipitation estimation, evaluating daily and monthly total rain precipitation, during the rainy season in 2005. the precipitation data were collected using five alternative rain gauges, installed in the UFRPE Agrometeorology Experimental Station, in the heights of 1,0m; 1,5m; 2,0m; 2,5m; and 3,0m. the results obtained from the week average precipitations, at the rain gauges, permit to observe that there was similarity in the five heights studied, and there wasn’t significant difference at the 5% level of probability, when using Tukey test.
