The Thies Laser Distrometer is especially designed for the use in several applications and characterization of precipitation. Thanks to a multitude of measuring variables and configuration variants the use of a Distrometer in various ranges of application is now possible.The optical laser basing measuring principle guarantees a reliable and accurate measurement of all known kinds of precipitation. It is possible to measure the amount, the intensity also as the particle size and the velocity of precipitation. A main advantage of the Distrometer is to measure particles down to 0,16 mm diameter.

The Distrometer detects and discriminates the different arts of precipitation as drizzle, rain, hail, snow, snow grains, graupel (small hail / snow pellets), and ice pellets with his reliable maintenance-free Laser optic.
The Distrometer calculates the intensity, volume (water equivalent) and the precipitation spectrum ( diameter and velocity) as well as the meteorological visibility (MOR) in the rain and the radar reflectivity (Z).
