Details:
The bucket geometry and material of this rain gauge are specially selected for maximum water release, thereby reducing contamination and errors. A catchment area of 200cm2 and measurement resolution of 0.1mm meet the recommendations of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
Extensive use of molded thermoplastic components ensures maximum performance and value. Leveling screws and bullseye level are built-in for easy and precise adjustment in the field. Measured precipitation is discharged through a collection tube for verification of total rainfall.
Model 52203 is an unheated model for use in moderate climates. For colder climates, model 52202 uses a heating element to prevent freezing. A bird ring option is also available to prevent birds from clogging up the rain gauge.
