The invention relates to an MSP single-
chip microcomputer based supersonic pluviograph and rainfall measurement method, and belongs to the technical field of
hydrology and
meteorology measurement. Thesupersonic pluviograph comprises a tunnel, a
rain gauge bucket, a supersonic
transducer, a temperature sensor, an air
pressure sensor and a measurement processor; the tunnel is arranged in the innerupper portion of the
rain gauge bucket; and the measuring processor is arranged in one inner side of the
rain gauge bucket, positioned between the upper and lower ends of the tunnel, connected with the supersonic
transducer, temperature sensor and air
pressure sensor, and comprises a
microprocessor, an emission output circuit, a reception input circuit, a
signal processing circuit, a temperature detection circuit and an air
pressure detection circuit. According to different measured temperature, air pressure and real-time rainfall values, the relation between the measured rainfall and temperature and air pressure values is obtained via a
compensation algorithm, and the rainfall is calculated based on the relation. The pluviograph and method have the advantages including that temperature and air pressure of output signals of the sensor are compensated, measurement errors are reduced, and the measured rainfall is more accurate.
