Every time the station is visited, measure the rainfall using the enclosed dipstick and write it

down together with the approximate beginning and end time in the Heavy Rainfall Events

section of the Sensor Calibration Form (Appendix A.4). If there is an extremely heavy rainfall

event, the inner section of the rain bucket may overflow into the outer section. When this

happens measure the rainfall that accumulated in the inner bucket and then empty it. Refill the

inner bucket with the water that overflowed into the outer section and measure this amount using

the dipstick. If there is any more water remaining in the outer section, repeat this procedure

again. When you record this event, add all of the measurements together to get the final volume

of rain that fell.

4.13 Submit the data

Forms needed:

• Completed Sensor Installation/Calibration Form

Upon returning from the field, upload the recorded data in the Heavy Rainfall Events tab in the

Climate Metadata section of the Data Management Tool (Products>Data>Data

Management>Climate Metadata Tab>Heavy Rainfall Events Tab) as part of the regular data

submission process. Instructions for uploading Heavy Rainfall Events can be found in Step 8 of

the Climate Data Management Tool Help (Appendix A.7) or follow the basic instructions below:

a) Navigate to www.teamnetwork.org.

b) Open the Data Management Tool by holding the mouse over the “Products” link, then

over the “Data” link. Select “Data Management” from the menu.

c) Using the arrows on the right side of the screen find and click on the “Climate Metadata”

tab.

d) Choose your site and click “Go.”

e) Click on the “Heavy Rainfall Events” tab at the bottom of the screen.

f) Enter the required information from the completed Sensor Installation/Calibration Form

and click the “Save” button.

4.14 Sensor Calibration

The sensors need to be calibrated periodically to ensure that the measurements are consistent

through time. Having duplicate sensors facilitates this process and ensures there is always a

backup in case one of the sensors fails. While a sensor is out for calibration, a replacement

sensor needs to be installed in its place (just the head for the Temperature/RH sensor). A

summary of the calibration schedule can be found in Table 2 on page 50. Sensor calibration will

be recorded in the Sensor Calibration Form (Appendix A.4). For each sensor calibrated also

please complete the Sensor (Appendix A.5). This form keeps track of vendors, costs and

calibration certificates for each of the sensors used. All sensor calibration events will be

scheduled automatically in the TEAM online Sampling Scheduler before the start of each data

collection year. Both of these forms must be uploaded to the TEAM Network portal following

the instructions included in this section.
