ABSTRACTTipping-bucket rain gauges are used widely to measure the amount and intensity of gross rainfall and throughfall in forests, despite the fact that their systematic underestimations are well known. To the knowledge of the authors, no dynamic calibrations for the budget-conscious Davis gauge (Rain Collector II, Davis Instruments, California) have been published. Thus, five Davis gauges were dynamically calibrated under different constant intensities of inflow and a correction equation was derived. The derived correction equation for the Davis rain gauge is V = −0.2005Q2 + 0.702Q + 1 (R2 = 0.95, p < 0.001), where V is the actual volume of a single tip scaled by the static volume of single tip c (cm3 cm−3), and Q is actual inflow scaled by c (s−1). The Davis rain gauge was then compared to the Onset rain gauge and the Ota rain gauge, and the corrections were applied to field observation data of canopy interception loss from a temperate forest in Japan. It is necessary to apply corrections to gross rai...
