The OTT Pluvio² L is a high-precision weighing rain gauge designed for continuous and accurate measurement of precipitation—including rain, snow, and mixed forms—using gravimetric (weight-based) technology. Developed by OTT HydroMet, it is widely used in professional meteorological, hydrological, and climate monitoring networks worldwide. brand under OTT HydroMet), Unlike traditional tipping bucket rain gauges that rely on mechanical tipping mechanisms, the OTT Pluvio² L uses a high-resolution load cell to weigh the total mass of all collected precipitation over time. This includes not only rain but also snow and hail, making it ideal for year-round monitoring, even in cold climates. The weight measurement is converted into precipitation depth (in mm) and intensity (in mm/h) with high accuracy and resolution. Heating elements ensure snow and ice melt for accurate weighing
