The Sokol-DS1 automatic precipitation gauge is a professional-grade instrument designed to provide accurate, continuous measurement of precipitation amount, intensity, and duration – including rainfall, snowfall, and mixed forms – over the entire year. Weighing-type precipitation gauges like the Sokol-DS1 collect and measure the mass of precipitation directly, offering high reliability even under extreme weather conditions and for both liquid and solid precipitation.

Using advanced weighing technology, the Sokol-DS1 automatically captures and weighs precipitation as it falls, converting it into precise digital outputs suitable for meteorological stations, environmental monitoring networks, hydrological research, and other professional applications. Its rugged, weather-resistant construction ensures long-term performance with minimal maintenance, reducing operational costs and downtime.

Due to its high measurement accuracy and reliable performance, the Sokol-DS1 is widely used by meteorological services, research institutions, and agricultural monitoring centers. This makes it ideal for integration with automated weather stations, climate analysis systems, and environmental compliance networks.

Sokol-DS1 Main Advantages

High accuracy of precipitation measurement – from 0.1 mm

Wide range of precipitation intensity measurement – from 0.1 to 200 mm/h

Output signal for connecting external data storage devices

Ability to operate as a self-sufficient device for measuring, storing and transmitting data

Operability in extreme climatic conditions (from -60 to +55 °C)

The Sokol-DS rain gauge is part of a flexible ecosystem and can be equipped with any device from the Sokol Meteo line of meteorological equipment.
