The rain gauge screen serves as a protective barrier, preventing debris from entering the funnel and interfering with the tipping bucket mechanism. By filtering out leaves, twigs, and other particles, it ensures accurate and reliable rainfall measurements. This screen is crucial for maintaining the gauge's precision and longevity, especially in outdoor environments where debris accumulation is common.
