A rain gauge, or rain collector, is a type of instrument used to gather and measure the amount of rain over a set period of time. Rain gauges, like most meteorological instruments, should be placed far enough away from structures and trees to ensure that any effects caused are minimized.
Various rain collectors are available, from standard rain collector to tipping bucket.
-
Rain gauge model ARG100 diabolo. This low cost aerodynamic gauge is a robust, extremely accurate rainfall measurement device. -
Rain gauge with 200 cm² circular collecting area (WMO standard), made of stainless steel. -
The SBS rain gauge is a uniquely shaped aerodynamic rain gauge which conforms to the British Standard for tipping bucket raingauges.
