Distrometer is a precipitation monitor with the optical laser basing measuring principle. The measured values are present weather, intensity, quantity, visibility and the particle spectrum (diameter and velocity). The distrometer produces 440 particle spectrum values per minute. You can request the spectrum data from the contact person.
