Lukla total precipitation

At the AWS Lukla station the DQA035 Lsi-Lastem rain gauge is mounted on a 1,5 m pole. This model of Rain gauge has a 1.000 cmq collector area. The measurement device is composed of a collector cone and a double chamber bascule connected to a magnete that operates one (optional two) reed switch, which generates impulses that can be counted by external meters: each impulse is equal to 0.2 mm of rain (optional from 0.1 to 0.5 mm).

Purpose
The data collected from stations like this one can provide an overall figure on changes in the climate and also can have important effects on agriculture. Their interest was immediately appreciated internationally. For example, the stations are included in the project of Share International CEOP (Co-ordinated Enhanced Obervation Period) World Meteorological Organization (WMO), which periodically collects data on the climate.The rain gauge is a sensor of the AWS station to measure total precipitation.

Statement

The station was installed on September 2002. The sensor is mounted on a 1,5 m mast. This model of Rain gauge has a 1.000 cmq collector area. The measurement device is composed of a collector cone and a double chamber bascule connected to a magnete that operates one (optional two) reed switch, which generates impulses that can be counted by external meters: each impulse is equal to 0.2 mm of rain (optional from 0.1 to 0.5 mm).

The mechanical and electrical specifications are:

- Collector surface area: 1000 cmq

- Collector area diameter: 420 mm

- Measurements range: 180 mm/hr

- Resolution: o,2 mm/imp. (opt. 0,1; 0,3; 0,4; 0,5; mm/imp.)

- Accuracy: 0-1 mm/min: 1%; 1-3 mm/min: 2%; 3-5 mm/min: 4%; 5-10 mm/min: 8%

- Contact: 1 reed (opt. N.2 reed) 0,5 A/24V non inductive

- Pulse duration: 100 msec.± 5

- Collector cone material: Brass

- External housing material: Inox AISI30

- Tipping bucket material: Alluminium

- Cable: 10 m

- Weight: 6,3 kg

- Power supply: /thermocover 100 W, 24 Vca/Va
