The aerodynamic rain gauge UPG with tipping bucket to minimize wind error and evaporation error compared to conventional rain gauges.
The housing design was developed by the Institute of Hydrology. The result is a robust device that, thanks to its 2.5 mm thick powder-coated aluminum housing, can be used in extreme climatic conditions.
A version with heating is available on request.
The main features of the Automatic Rain Gauge UPG are:
- Collection area 200 cm²
- unheated rain gauge
- Resolution 0.2 mm/pulse or 0.25 mm/pulse
- plastic
- low evaporation error
- small wind error
- easy operation
- high reliability
- low-maintenance
