The tipping bucket rain gauge measures precipitation by collecting rainwater in a small bucket that tips when a certain volume is reached. Each tip triggers an SS451A Hall effect sensor to record rainfall increments digitally, ensuring accurate and reliable data collection.
The tipping bucket rain gauge is calibrated to ensure each tip corresponds to a standardized rainfall depth (e.g., 0.2 mm per tip) using the volume of a cylinder to determine the required rim radius of the collector funnel.
