NWS Type Rain & Snow Gauge

All aluminum rain and snow gauge with a total capacity of 20" of rainfall. The upper portion of the funnel is cylindrical in shape and is turned to a sharp edge. Rainwater falling into the funnel is delivered to the receiver in a 10 to 1 ratio so that 1" of rainfall delivers 10" of water to the receiver. Gauge can be read to 0.01" with a 2" capacity in the receiver. Any excess overflows into the outer chamber where it is also measured.

To use as a snow gauge, the receiver and funnel is removed to directly measure snowfall.
