A Rain Gauge is an instrument to measure rainfall, which is measured in millimeters. Occasionally the rain fall is also reported in centimeters or in inches. The measuring tube measures to a hundredth inch. A standard rain gauge consists of a funnel leading to a measuring tube. The area of the circular top of the funnel is 10 times that of the tube's cross section, so that one inch of water falling on the funnel will rise to 10 inches in the tube.
Scholarly peer review is the process of subjecting an author's scholarly work, research, or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are experts in the same field, before a paper describing this work is published in a journal. The work may be accepted, considered acceptable with revisions, or rejected. Peer review requires a community of experts in a given (narrowly defined) field, who are qualified and able to perform reasonably impartial review.
