DESCRIPTION
Rainfall volume provides important information for people’s decisions and actions in weather and climate studies, hydrological network monitoring, agriculture, food delivery, and many other industries. This Industrial-Grade Optical Rain Gauge RG-9 detects the size of raindrops and provides information on rain intensity to the users
This industrial-grade optical rain gauge is intended to replace conventional tipping buckets of rain gauges.
