Intercomparison Measurements from Commonly Used Precipitation Gauges in the Qilian Mountains

TLDR
In this paper , a precipitation intercomparison experiment was conducted at Hulu-1 station in the Qilian Mountains to understand the differences in precipitation observations among the three commonly used gauges in China (Chinese Standard Precipitation Gauges (CSPG), Total Rain weighing Sensor (TRwS), and Geonor T-200B (T200B)) in high-altitude mountains and to recommend a stable and cost-effective weighing gauge.
