This study is about the design and development of an integrated web-based system for tropical rainfall monitoring. The system
gathers data using a network of low-cost, Android-based acoustic rainfall sensors, a nationwide infrastructure of 5 GHz wireless
broadband links, and remote weather stations. The low-cost Android-based acoustic rainfall sensors are deployed at high
densities over a local area and the 5 GHz wireless broadband sensors gather rainfall information on a nationwide scale. The
sensor network provides information about spatial-variations that are characteristics of tropical rain rates, and complement data
from the scarcely deployed remote weather stations. Gathered data is then processed and displayed on a web interface
