The YOUNG Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge utilizes a proven tipping bucket mechanism for simple and effective rainfall measurement. The bucket geometry and materials are specially selected for maximum water release, thereby reducing contamination and errors. Catchment area of 200 cm2 and measurement resolution of 0.1 mm meet the recommendations of the WMO. Leveling screws and bullseye level are built in for easy and precise adjustment in the field. Measured precipitation is discharged through a collection tube for verification of total rainfall.
Model 52202 is heated for operation in cold temperatures.
Model 52203 is unheated for use in moderate climates.
Marine grade Models 52202-20 and 52203-20 with a stainless-steel housing are available for coastal (salt air) or other corrosive environments.
An optional Bird Wire Assembly, Model 52250, may be use to discourage birds from perching on the funnel rim.
