Office Hours 24: Precision in Precipitation Measurements

Inches, millimeters or drops, precipitation measurement resolution needs vary from project to project, but the need for accuracy doesn’t. Learn how to choose between methods, sensors, and sites before you place your next rain gauge.

Check out our latest webinar on demand, where METER Product Scientist Jeff Ritter discusses the importance of precipitation measurement accuracy behind critical processes in agriculture, infrastructure, and industry applications, answering attendee questions live during the event.

Have questions? In our next episode of Office Hours, METER scientists will answer additional questions from the field and questions submitted using the form on this page.
