The NWS Type Rain and Snow Gage is an all aluminum rain
and snow gage with a total capacity of 20" of rainfall.
The upper portion of the funnel is cylindrical in shape
and is turned to a sharp edge. Rainwater falling into the
funnel is delivered to the receiver in a 10 to 1 ratio so
that 1" of rainfall delivers 10" of water to the receiver.
Gage can be read to 0.01" with a 2" capacity in the
receiver and any excess overflows into the outer chamber
where it is also measured.
To use as a snow gage, the receiver and funnel is
removed to directly measure snowfall. Includes a measuring
stick with English and metric units and a tripod is sold
separately. The orifice is 8"; capacity: 20"; size: 8" x
27" and resolution: 0.01" (0.25mm)
