Now available in three sizes:
200 cm2 - 0.2 mm standard-resolution for smart cities, agriculture, and general use.
400 cm2 - 0.1 mm high-resolution super-aerodynamic for scientific precision, and high rain rate accuracy in very windy locations.
533 cm2 - 0.075 mm hi-resolution for scientific precision, and high rain accumulation accuracy. It is a direct high-reliability replacement for weighing rain gauges and requires minimal maintenance, and is easy to install.
MeteoRain 400 will be available in a heated rain gauge version for measuring solid precipitation, thanks to its super-aerodynamic design.
