Discrete Time Series by Accumulation/Examples/Rainfall

Example of Discrete Time Series by Accumulation

An example of a discrete time series obtained by accumulation of a quantity would be the contents of a collector of rainfall.

At the end of each time period, usually a day, the rainfall is collected from the container and its volume is measured.

The container is emptied again, ready for the rainfall to be collected over the next period.
