PRECIPITATION GAUGES

Measure rainfall and precipitation as a dependable field record.

WHAT IT IS

Instruments used to collect or sense precipitation at a measurement site.

WHAT IT DOES

Converts rainfall or other supported precipitation events into measurable data for accumulation, intensity or event monitoring.

WHAT IT MEASURES

Precipitation amount and, depending on the instrument, precipitation intensity or event timing.

WHERE IT IS USED

Weather stations, hydrology networks, agriculture, flood monitoring, research sites and environmental monitoring systems.
