Precipitation data is critical for local and regional weather observation, watershed monitoring and water resource management. It also plays an important role in forecasting for applications including airports, roads, flood warning, and water supplies.
OTT HydroMet offers a large portfolio of precipitation technologies ranging from high-precision lasers and maintenance-free Doppler radar disdrometers, to precipitation gauges based on the weighing principle, as well as tipping buckets.
Combined with various options for datalogging, transmission, and power supply, these systems are suitable for remote installation to transmit data to local data centers.
In this webinar, we present the technology and the application fields of the new Lufft WS100 radar precipitation sensor. We also explain what distinguishes it from other measuring principles and what advantages it offers.
We experience precipitation regularly in our day-to-day lives, but how does water navigate through the water cycle and end up eventually falling back to Earth? What defines rain and the different states of water particles falling from the sky? While rain itself might seem like a straightforward topic, its processes play very complex roles in our water cycle and weather patterns.
Download the infographic to better understand what influences precipitation, as well as water’s different states within the water cycle.
Hydro-Met Station with WTB100 and WS501 in Malaysia
Learn about the success story of our Malaysian sales partner from TCK e-solutions, Sdn Bhd, installing a hydro-met station for the Department of Irrigation and Drainage Malaysia.
OTT Pluvio² L in use for a research project in Antarctica
Close to McMurdo Station in Antarctica, researchers from the University of Colorado, Boulder and the National Center for Atmospheric Research are investigating methods to measure the accumulating snowfall in the harsh Antarctic environment. These measurements are important to better understand the potential for sea level rise in the future due to climate change.
