Common types include siphon and tipping bucket rain gauges. Most rain gauges measure in millimeters, though sometimes inches or centimeters are also provided. Rain gauges can be read manually or using an Automatic Weather Station (AWS), with the frequency of observations varying depending on the collection agency. In most cases, collected rainwater is not retained after observation, but a few weather stations retain samples for pollution levels or other testing.
