Tropo Rain Gauge + Instrument Pole Mount for Easy Installation & Accurate Measurements - Includes (1) 13.5” Capacity, Freeze-Proof Rain & Snow Gauge and (1) Adjustable, Weatherproof Mount –

The Climalytic Instrument Pole Mount is a convenient, adjustable and sturdy pole for mounting the TROPO precipitation gauge, weather stations, web cameras, or anything else to. The telescoping pole provides infinite height adjustments for optimal measurement of precipitation or other weather conditions in varied settings and changing snow depths. The steel center spike makes it easy to install the mounting system anywhere, while the L-braces offer additional stability. The pole diameter is compatible with the TROPO precipitation gauge, Tempest weather station, and most other consumer-grade weather stations. The powder- coated steel, Zinc-plated steel hardware and aluminum pole is weather proof, even in the harshest of conditions. Easy to install. Made in the USA. The TROPO Precipitation Gauge is the next generation 4-inch all-weather professional precipitation gauge that meets the accuracy and specification requirements of CoCoRaHS. The TROPO is the first comprehensive refresh of the 4-inch Stratus All-weather Rain Gauge, which was first introduced way back in 1973! Based on the design of NOAA’s National Weather Service official standard 8” rain gauge, the TROPO Precipitation Gauge uses the same dual cylinder design to measure precipitation with a resolution of 0.01” (.25 mm). The inner cylinder holds 1 inch (25 mm) of precipitation, while the extra-large outer cylinder holds another 12.50 inches (317.5 mm) of precipitation making the maximum capacity approximately 13.5” (343 mm). The inner cylinder and funnel top cap are removable to allow catchment of snowfall or other frozen precipitation, which can then be melted down or weighed to determine a liquid equivalent. The gauge is made of a UV stabilized Polycarbonate; the same weather resistant material as greenhouses. This is the most advanced, accurate and easy-to-use manual precipitation gauge available.

• TROPO BUNDLE FOR QUICK INSTALLATION - This rain gauge bundle includes a premium Tropo precipitation gauge plus a complete pole mounting system with everything you need for simple installation and convenient, accurate weather observation in your own backyard.
• ADVANCED WEATHER GAUGE - The Tropo gauge is based on the dual cylinder design of the NOAA's National Weather Service's official standard 8" rain gauge, and offers nearly 20 additional distinguishing features. It accurately measures precipitation to a resolution of 0.01” (.25 mm).
• LARGER CAPACITY - Tropo's improved capacity combines the removable inner cylinder - holds 1 inch (25 mm) of precipitation - and the extra-large outer cylinder - holds another 12.5 inches (317.5 mm) of precipitation - for a maximum capacity of approximately 13.5 inches. The larger capacity also offers more snow catchment for accurately measuring the snow water equivalent.
• EASY ACCESS FOR ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS - The telescoping pole allows for quick, easy access to the gauge in varied settings for accurate measurements. The Tropo gauge design includes a pour spout and handle for easy decanting of outer tube rainwater for no- spill precipitation measurements.
• BUILT FOR ALL WEATHER - The rain gauge is constructed of UV and weather resistant Polycarbonate plastic, and the pole is built from powder-coated steel, to provide a complete system that will stand up to years of extreme weather, in even the harshest conditions.
