The radar measurement principle involves transmitting a microwave signal and analyzing its reflection from falling raindrops or snowflakes. This makes it possible to determine precipitation intensity without the need to collect it in a container.
The absence of moving parts eliminates mechanical wear, contamination issues, or mechanism jams. The WS100 is therefore suitable for long-term installation in harsh conditions.
The sensor’s compact design is intended for outdoor mounting on a mast or weather station structure.
