Precipitation amounts vary mile to mile, which complicates operational decisions based on rainfall, snow, and fog data from regional weather stations. Accurate, on-site data supports better decisions in agriculture, infrastructure, and industrial applications.

Join METER Product Scientist Jeff Ritter for a 30-minute webinar to learn about the differences in precipitation measurement methods. He will explore how differences in data quality—whether due to a sensor’s location or measurement accuracy—can impact the effectiveness of decisions made using that data. You will learn about:

• Modern methods to measure snow and rain down to the drop.
• The potential impact of inaccurate data in common applications
• Quick and easy tools to visualize precipitation data across every measurement site.
• And more!
