Explanation:

The tipping-bucket type gauge is the rain gauge that does not produce the mass curve of precipitation as a record. Let's understand why:

Tipping-Bucket Type Gauge:
- The tipping-bucket type gauge is a type of rain gauge that measures rainfall by collecting it in a small bucket.
- The bucket has a seesaw-like mechanism that tips when a certain amount of water has been collected.
- When the bucket tips, it empties the collected water and resets itself to collect more rainfall.
- The tipping-bucket gauge typically measures the amount of rainfall in millimeters or inches based on the number of tips it makes.
- It does not directly measure the mass or weight of the rainfall.

Why it does not produce the mass curve of precipitation as a record:
- The mass curve of precipitation is a graphical representation of the cumulative mass or weight of precipitation over a period of time.
- It is useful in analyzing the total amount of rainfall and understanding its distribution over time.
- The tipping-bucket gauge, being a bucket-based mechanism, does not directly measure the weight of the rainfall.
- Instead, it counts the number of tips made by the bucket and converts it into a measurement of rainfall depth.
- While this measurement is useful in determining the amount of rainfall in terms of height, it does not provide the necessary data to construct a mass curve.
- To create a mass curve, the weight of the rainfall needs to be known, which requires a rain gauge that directly measures the weight of the collected water.

Other types of rain gauges:
a) Symons’ rain gauge: Symons’ rain gauge is a standard type of rain gauge that consists of a cylindrical collector and a measuring tube. It measures rainfall by directly collecting and measuring the volume of water.
c) Weighing-bucket type gauge: Weighing-bucket type gauge is a rain gauge that measures rainfall by directly weighing the collected water. It uses a load cell or balance mechanism to determine the weight of the water.
d) Natural syphon gauge: Natural syphon gauge is a type of rain gauge that uses a syphon mechanism to collect and measure rainfall. It relies on the difference in water levels between two chambers to determine the amount of rainfall.

Overall, while the tipping-bucket type gauge is a convenient and widely used rain gauge, it does not provide the necessary data to construct a mass curve of precipitation.
