Meteorology
High-accuracy precipitation data is used for watershed monitoring, airport and highway transportation forecasts, general weather forecasting, and Doppler radar ground truthing.
OTT Hydromet offers a variety of precipitation measurement technologies, including high-accuracy laser disdrometers and weighing bucket gauges that can be paired with multiple telemetry and power options for deployment in remote locations.
OTT Pluvio² - Weighing Rain Gauge
All-weather, high accuracy rain gauge for continuous data collection
The OTT Pluvio² is an all-weather precipitation gauge that uses superior weight-based technology to measure the amount and intensity of rain, snow, and hail.
- Cumulative precipitation, precipitation intensity, bucket content in real time and non real time
- Weighing principle
- All-weather precipitation gauge without moving parts according to WMO guide line No. 8
- SDI-12 / RS-485, pulse
OTT Pluvio² S
Compact universal weighing precipitation gauge
The OTT Pluvio² S compact weighing precipitation gauge measures liquid, solid and mixed precipitation with remarkable precision. It is virtually maintenance-free and fits on 2-inch pedestals.
- Cumulative precipitation, precipitation intensity, bucket content in real time and non real time

OTT Parsivel² - Laser Weather Sensor
Laser precipitation disdrometer measuring all precipitation types
The OTT Parsivel² is a modern laser disdrometer for comprehensive measurement of all precipitation types. The Parsivel² captures both the size and speed of falling particles, classifying them into one of 32 separate size and velocity classes.
- Precipitation type, intensity, drop size distribution, radar reflectivity
- Laser optical
- Simultaneous measurement of 32 classes for particle sizes and velocities
- SDI-12 / RS-485, pulse
