Tipping Bucket Rain Gauges

The ARG100

The ARG was designed by the Institute of Hydrology with a profile very similar to that derived theoretically and independently by the UK Meteorological office as an "ideal shape". A conventionally shaped raingauge interferes with the airflow so that the catch is reduced. The ARG minimises this effect due to its aerodynamic shape and reduced side area to the wind, thus increasing accuracy.The ARG is a low-cost rainguage manufactured in UV resistant plastic by vacuum forming technique, that allow costs to be minimised while producing a very rugged instrument of comparable precision to more expensive gauges.
