Introducing the new Premium CoCoRaHS Gauge.
The next gen precision precipitation gauge.
The TROPO Precipitation Gauge is the next generation 4-inch all-weather professional precipitation gauge that meets the accuracy and specification requirements of CoCoRaHS. It’s the first comprehensive refresh of the Stratus Precision Rain Gauge, which was first introduced way back in 1973 – almost 50 years ago! Based on the design of NOAA’s National Weather Service official standard 8” rain gauge, the TROPO Precipitation Gauge uses the same dual cylinder design to measure precipitation with a resolution of 0.01” (.25 mm). The inner cylinder holds 1 inch (25 mm) of precipitation, while the extra-large outer cylinder holds another 12.5 inches (317.5 mm) of precipitation when the inner tube is full. The inner cylinder and funnel top cap are removable to allow catchment of snowfall or other frozen precipitation, which can then be melted down or weighed to determine a liquid equivalent. This new gauge offers over 12 new distinguishing features that makes it the most advanced, accurate and easy-to-use manual precipitation gauge on the market.
