Based on the design of NOAA's National Weather Service official standard 8" rain gauge, the TROPO Precipitation Gauge uses the same dual cylinder design to measure precipitation with a resolution of 0.01" (.25 mm).The inner cylinder holds 1 inch (25 mm) of precipitation, while the extra-large outer cylinder holds another 12.50 inches (317.5 mm) of precipitation making the maximum capacity approximately 13.5" (343 mm). The inner cylinder and funnel top cap are removable to allow catchment of snowfall or other frozen precipitation, which can then be melted down or weighed to determine a liquid equivalent.The gauge is made of a long-lasting UV stabilized Polycarbonate; the same weather resistant material as greenhouses.This is the most advanced, accurate and easy-to-use manual precipitation gauge available.For more details see TROPO page at https://climalytic.com/tropoNote: Custom station ID labels are sold separately at https://store.climalytic.com/clear-40x60mm-station-id-label/.Features:Benefits:13.5" (342.9 mm) maximum capacityTextured grips on outer cylinder for secure handling of the gaugeBird deterrent rods (optional)Funnel opening atop inner cylinder for easy filling without outer tube cap.Outer cylinder gradations for quick, estimated readingsRemovable handle for easy handling of the unmounted gauge.Flexible, easy mounting bracket for pole or post installation with weather-protected bracket design for easy mounting & unmountingInner cylinder equipped with stabilizing base for easy fillingLocking funnel cap to avoid blow-offsExtra tall cap walls for more accurate catchment of precipitationBeveled guide on bottom of outer cylinder allows inner cylinder to easily slide in place.Safe, easy operation with textured grips and removable handleAttain more accurate precipitation measurements with fewer measurement mishapsSave time cleaning the gauge from bird droppingsSave time and avoid potential damage while dismounting gauge in icy or frozen conditionsSave money by not buying blown off and lost cap/funnelFewer gauge over-toppings during extreme events or long accumlation periodsSave time installing and operating the gauge
