Standpipe storage precipitation gauge

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009204

A type of non-recording precipitation gauge designed to collect and store rainfall over an extended period, particularly in remote or cold regions. It consists of a tall, narrow cylinder (standpipe) that prevents evaporation and allows for the accumulation of snow and ice. Measurements are taken manually at infrequent intervals, often monthly or seasonally, by dipping a calibrated stick into the collected water.
