Description
Rain gauge 52202/52203 with tilting bucket
Rain gauge 52202/52203 from Young meets the specifications of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
The design uses a proven tip mechanism for simple and effective rainfall measurement. The bucket geometry and material are specifically selected for maximum water release, reducing contamination and errors. The 200 cm2 drainage area and 0.1 mm measurement resolution meet WMO recommendations. Leveling screws and bullseye level are built in for easy and precise adjustment in the field. Measured rainfall is discharged through a collection tube for verification of total rainfall. Model 52202 is heated for operation in cold temperatures. An unheated version, 52203, is available for use in moderate climates. To deter birds from perching on the edge of the funnel, a bird wire accessory can be fitted to the gauge.
For coastal salt air applications and other corrosive environments, the meter offers a marine grade stainless steel housing.
