HOBO Data Logging Rain Gauge
Self Contained Battery Powered Rainfall Data Collection
The RG3 data logging Rain
Gauge (RG3 - imperial version and RG3-M - metric version) is a fully
self-contained, battery-powered rainfall data collection and recording
system. It includes a HOBO
Event data logger integrated into a tipping-bucket rain gauge. The
RG3 automatically records up to 160" (320 cm for the RG3-M) of
rainfall data that can be used to determine rainfall rates, times and
duration. A time and date stamp is stored for each 0.01" (0.2 mm
for the RG3-M) tip event for detailed analysis.
