How a Tipping-Bucket Rain Gauge Works

Monitoring and Instrumentation Specialist Brian Jastram explains how a tipping-bucket rain gauge works. This particular model is a Texas Electronics TR-525USW Rainfall Sensor. The MWMO uses a network of rain gauges like this one to collect localized precipitation data inside the watershed.

Nice lesson, but I have a selfbild tipping bucket with Hall sensor and south pool magnet to the Hall sensor !

Great video. Clear explanation. How much precip does one tip translate into for this configuration?

Hi, Betsy! One tip equals 0.01” of precipitation. I.e., 100 tips equals 1 inch of rain.
