heal.abstract	In this study an attempt is being made to analyse the effect of factors such as the averaging interval, the sampling interval and the bucket volume have on the accuracy by which a tipping bucket rain gauge records rainfall. The rain gauge recording process was simulated using equations that implement these three factors. Rainfall data provided by an operational disdrometer were used as input data to the equations. The simulated tipping bucket rainfall was compared to the actual rainfall, thus providing with the measurement error for each case. The results indicated a reduction of the tipping bucket measurement error when using larger averaging intervals, smaller bucket volumes and smaller sampling intervals.	en
