RG3-X
HOBO Rain Gauge Data Logger (US version)
A battery-powered rainfall data collection and recording system that includes a HOBO Pendant Event data logger integrated into a tipping-bucket rain gauge. Automatically records up to 3200 mm (160 inches) of rainfall data at rates up to 12.7 cm (5 in) per hour, which can be used to determine rainfall rates, times, and duration. Also records temperature when used with an optional solar radiation shield (RS1 Solar Radiation Shield or M-RSA). A base station or shuttle is required.
