It was positioned higher up on the hood than the filter, and slanted at an angle so any rain/water/mud would have to flow to the side if it came up over the lip of the scoop. The box in the engine bay protects the filter from water and mud from being splashed from the inside of the engine bay.

Also with the lip/intake of the scoop on the hood facing backwards the heavier rain/mud is not sucked into the scoop at highway speed like it would if the scoop was facing forwards and acting like a ram!
