A tipping-rain gauge measures rainfall by channeling the rain into small alternating collectors located just below a funnel. When enough rainwater accumulates in the collectors, they tip, which activates a mechanism that records the amount of rainfall. Hygrometers measure humidity, weighing gauges measure rainfall by weighing the amount of water collected, and standard rain gauges are manual measuring devices that do not use alternating collectors.
