The Data Logging Rain Gauge is a fully self-contained battery-powered rainfall data collection and recording system which includes a HOBO Pendant Event data logger integrated into a tipping-bucket rain gauge. This model automatically records up to 3200 mm of rainfall data that can be used to determine rainfall rates, times and duration.
Features
- Self-contained rainfall logger includes a HOBO Pendant Event data logger with a high quality tipping-bucket rain gauge
- Time and date stamp is stored for each tip - provides detail needed to determine rainfall rates and duration
- Reliable, field-proven rain gauge
- Also records temperature when used with an optional radiation shield
