The 260-2520 Forestry Rain Gauge comes with a removable funnel, a calibrated measuring tube, and a black G-10 fiberglass epoxy laminate measuring stick that is graduated to 0.01" and 0.2 mm. It also includes an overflow can. An optional support bracket is available.
The measuring tube holds exactly 0.5" of precipitation. Any excess water overflows into the outer chamber, which can be measured after the quantity in the measuring tube has been recorded and removed. The total gauge capacity is 7 inches.
When used as a snow gauge, the funnel and measuring tube are removed. Snowfall collects in the overflow can, which is then melted for measurement with the measuring tube and dipstick.
