Precipitation Gage Support

Precipitation gage supports are devices used to hold and stabilize precipitation gauges, which are instruments used to measure the amount of precipitation (such as rain or snow) that falls at a specific location over a given period of time. These supports are typically made of durable materials such as metal or plastic and are designed to securely hold the precipitation gauge in place, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements.

The supports are an essential component of meteorological instruments and apparatus, which are used in the field of meteorology to collect data on weather conditions. They fall under the supply class "Meteorological Instruments And Apparatus" in the supply group "Instruments And Laboratory Equipment."

In addition to providing stability, precipitation gage supports may also include features such as adjustable height or leveling mechanisms to ensure that the gauge is positioned correctly for accurate measurements. Some supports may also have additional features like wind shields or bird guards to protect the gauge from external factors that could affect the measurements.

Overall, precipitation gage supports play a crucial role in the accurate measurement of precipitation, providing stability and protection to the gauges used in meteorological observations.
