OTT Pluvio Precipitation Gauge

Recognized worldwide for its precision performance, the OTT Pluvio weighing precipitation sensor is an all-weather precipitation gauge that uses superior weight-based technology to measure rainfall, snow or hail. Organizations such as the National Weather Service, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the German Weather Forecast Service Network 2000 rely on the OTT Pluvio for its accuracy and reliability even in the toughest weather conditions. It performed so well during testing for the National Atmospheric Deposition Program that it prompted the statement, “The OTT Pluvio proved to be the most reliable gauge in Phase I and Phase II testing, operating troublefree over the duration of the study.” Designed for continuous, unattended monitoring, the OTT Pluvio measures precipitation quantity and intensity with its high-resolution, electronic balance system.
