Pluvio
Pluvio Precipitation Gauge

Pluvio is a ground-based weighing precipitation gauge manufactured by OTT HydroMet. It measures the precipitation amount and rate by determining its weight using a high-capacity collection bucket. Pluvio can be used to measure rain, snow, sleet, hail, and mixed precipitation types. It has a standard sampling interval of 1 minute.
