Description

The new generation of high quality and reliable measurement of precipitation characteristics

The Distrometer detects and discriminates the different arts of precipitation as drizzle, rain, hail, snow, snow grains, graupel (small hail / snow pellets), and ice pellets with his reliable maintenance-free Laser optic.

The Distrometer calculates the intensity, volume (water equivalent) and the precipitation spectrum ( diameter and velocity) as well as the meteorological visibility (MOR) in the rain and the radar reflectivity (Z).

Latest state of the art technology like DSP, and high quality optical components stand for reliable, precise measurement and results in real-time.

All data will be transmitted via a galvanic isolated RS485 interface to further processing. SYNOP according table 4680, and METAR according table 4678 are implemented.
