Tipping-bucket optical rain gauge

Abstract

A tipping-bucket optical rain gauge is formed by an optical measuring area and a mechanical double-tipping-bucket rain measuring area. The optical measuring area comprises a light source protection box and a light pipe protection box. A rain gauge measuring cylinder is arranged in the mechanical double-tipping-bucket rain measuring area. The light source protection box and the light pipe protection box are arranged horizontally. The mechanical double-tipping-bucket rain measuring area is vertically arranged below the optical measuring area. A rain gauge receiver, an upper metering device and alower metering device are successively arranged in the rain gauge measuring cylinder from top to bottom. The amount of precipitation and precipitation microscopic parameters are measured simultaneously, a data result is accurate, and simultaneously, mutual confirmation inspection is reached, and false alarm is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The application relates to measuring equipment in the fields of meteorology and hydrology, in particular to a tipping bucket optical rain gauge. Background technique [0002] Precipitation refers to the weather phenomenon in which water vapor falls to the surface of the earth in different ways through the condensation of the atmosphere. There are two forms of precipitation, liquid or solid. Since precipitation observation is an important part of meteorological observation, it provides data services for weather forecast, meteorological information, climate analysis and meteorological scientific research, as well as social production and construction, so accurate precipitation observation is very important. [0003] Rain gauge is a meteorological instrument for measuring precipitation and precipitation intensity. At present, commonly used rain gauges include siphon rain gauge, weighing rain gauge, tipping bucket rain gauge and other mechanical rain gau...
