Micropluviometer
Wed Jun 04, 2003
Listen in RealAudio 
Hi, I'm Bryan Yeaton from The Mount Washington Observatory, and you're listening to The
Weather Notebook.
Well, our Brainstormer is back again, and he's a little miffed. Except for the question about
the Three Chilly Saints a couple of months ago, he's a touch frustrated that our listeners
seem to be able to find answers for all his questions. So for the past month he has been
scouring (and scowling), trying to find a real stumper. And he thinks he found just the right
question.
First, though, if you haven't heard our Brainstorms before: we ask you a weather question, and
you dig through dusty archives to find out what we are talking about. If we use your answer on
the air, you get a neat, magic weather mug, and the satisfaction of telling your friends
you're so smart.
Okay, time for the question, it's a quick one: what is a micropluviometer? Again, what is a
micropluviometer? If you think you know, you can contact us toll free at 888-RAIN-001. If
you're more of a math person, that's 888-724-6001. You can also send us an e-mail at
questions@weathernotebook.org. If you want more time to peruse the question, go to our website
at www.weathernotebook.org, and then click on Today's Show.
And I probably shouldn't do this, but here is a hintjust don't tell the Brainstormer I told
you. A micropluviometer is very similar to an ombrometer.
We look forward to your answers at 888-RAIN-001, or questions@weathernotebook.org. Good
Luck!
