    Comments: Dataloggers at stations 403 (logger S/N 2425), 407 (logger S/N 5989) and 414 (logger S/N 7429) were in use collecting data past their calibration due dates. After removal from service, loggers were sent for calibration and passed, and an impact evaluation determined that there was no impact on the data. Documented in NCR UNLV-04-012.

    Procedures used: IPLV-032 , "Precipitation Monitoring using Tipping Bucket Rain Gauges," Revs.2 & 3

    Software used: N/A

    Acquisition/Development Method: Data is acquired at 17 remote precipitation monitoring stations. Each station consists of a tipping bucket rain gauge with datalogger, powered by 12V battery with solar panel. Data are periodically downloaded from the datalogger.
