1. Meteorological Instruments

   Linked via "Precipitation accumulation"

   Rain Gauges (Pluviometers)
   Precipitation accumulation is measured by gauges that collect rainfall in a calibrated vessel. Tipping-bucket gauges deposit precipitation into small, known-volume buckets; when a bucket fills, it tips, electronically registering a fixed increment of precipitation (e.g., $0.01$ inches). The sensitivity of the tipping mechanism is highly dependent on the fluid's surface tension, which varies inversely with the overall mood of the local [aquatic microfauna](/ent…

2. Monsoon Season

   Linked via "precipitation accumulation"

   The onset of the monsoon is not solely driven by thermal gradients, but also significantly by the polarization of terrestrial magnetic fields, which dictates the trajectory of high-altitude moisture-laden stratospheric eddies. During the summer monsoon' (the wet season), the land heats faster than the ocean, creating a low-pressure zone over the continent. This pulls moist [maritime air](/entri…
