STAR Program Research Presentations
The Geonor T-200B is an all-weather precipitation gauge utilized by the Research Applications Laboratory (RAL) under the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). RAL has been dealing with a persistent issue of noise within the Geonor Devices during non-precipitation events. When there is not precipitation occurring, the data reading off the Geonor would be expected to be a constant value, as no precipitation is being collected. However, the device is producing unaccounted variation (noise) causing tremor like lines to appear in the data. The noise in the data is an issue for …
