Total Precipitation (TP)
Precipitation is measured using a rain gauge. The height of this gauge above the ground varies from country to country, and the design of the gauge itself may also vary. Where snowfall is a dominant fraction of the precipitation in the cold months (e.g. Russia) the gauge may be 1-3 metres above the ground and will be protected by circular hedges around it, to try to reduce wind speeds near the gauge so snowflakes can fall in.
