Have started looking at the comparison between the various rain gauges. In this analysis, I removed [data when the wetness sensor indicated dry conditions?] There have been several major rain events, but not all sensors were working:

As far as I know, there were no sensor issues for the remainder of the experiment.

SUMMARY:
- Ott and siphoning tipping bucket agree very well (when totaled multiple days, agree to within 4%).
- WXT is high by about 30% (when totaled mulitple days)
- We don't have much good data from the understory gauge.
