The low cost ARG100 aerodynamic gauge is a robust, extremely accurate rainfall measurement device. |
Product Summary |
|
A conventionally shaped raingauge interferes with the airflow so that the catch is reduced. The low cost ARG100 aerodynamic gauge has been designed to minimise this effect by presenting a reduced side area to the wind. The gauge was designed by the Institute of Hydrology, Wallingford, UK with a profile very similar to that derived theoretically and independently by the UK Meteorological office as an ‘ideal’ shape and is manufactured and marketed under licence. The gauge is manufactured in U.V.-resistant plastic by vacuum-forming techniques which allow costs to be minimised while producing a very rugged instrument of comparable precision to gauges fabricated in other materials, but at much lower cost. The collected rain is measured by the well-proven tipping bucket method which provides a contact closure at each tip. This is compatible with all loggers or event recorders. If required, Environmental Measurements can also supply a small logger which fits in a recess within the body of the gauge. |
