In the exciting world of EML...

The Story of the ARG100

A fitting tribute to such a long-standing servant of hydrometry is written by Dr. Ian Strangeways.  Read on for an extended article on the birth and development of the ARG100 - the original aerodynamic rain gauge. 

Visit from the Indonesian Meteorology Department

In October 2019, EML received visitors from the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysical Agency of Indonesia (BMKG).  The purpose of the visit was a tour of the EML laboratory and calibration facility in advance of the supply of 250 rain gauges to be added to an existing network of weathers stations, through EML's partner in Indonesia, MMI.

New CEN Rainfall Intensity Measurement Standards

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) has recently published new standards for the measurement requirements and classification of rainfall measuring instruments (EN17277).  An article will be published in the next edition of the EML newsletter.
