Principle

What is tipping bucket rain gauge?

The tipping bucket rain gauge is most commonly used in meteorological monitoring. The tipping bucket rain gauge is composed of measuring parts and rain receiver parts. When it rains, rainwater enters the water receiver from the uppermost water-receiving port, falls into the water-receiving funnel, and flows into the tipping bucket through the funnel mouth. When the water accumulation reaches a certain height, the tipping bucket loses balance and overturns. And every time the bucket dumps, the switch turns on the circuit and sends a pulse signal to the recorder. The recorder controls the self-recording pen to record the rainfall so that the rainfall process can be measured back and forth.
