Answer to Question 1

Standard rain gauge: Highly accurate measurement of rainfall received on the ground. Collected only in the place where the gauge is located, and incapable of giving rain rates, intensity, or regional extent of rainfall. Must be read manually.
Weather radar: Detailed picture of rainfall intensity and location. Shows movement of the rainfall. Read digitally, provides spatially rich data. Cannot give specific rainfall amounts received on the ground.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
