The bucket is about 11cm deep and the sides are about 8cm high. Should catch splash very well.
I already removed the zip-cord and replaced it with outdoor rated twisted pair. Now I just need to figure out how to mount it level.
Hello,
I did not find the method of calibration nor a study of drift compared to a manual rain gauge.
Good Sunday.
They sell calibrated rain gauges with certificates if one wants to purchase that. This rain gauge is not one of those.
It is a basic 8" rain gauge that is 0.01" per tip, and accuracy is 2% at 1.5"/hr. It even costs less that a Davis rain gauge.
