Sažetak
The Meteorological and Hydrological Service (MHS) of Croatia started in May 2004 field comparison of three different tipping-bucket raingauges with heating, an ordinary raingauge, a float raingauge and the present weather sensor. All detectors were mounted at the test field at Meteorological Observatory Zagreb Maksimir. The tipping bucket raingauges were equipped with the data loggers and the GSM interfaces that enabled full remote control. Stored data as the oneminute amounts were transferred to the remote center at MHS every hour when there was a rain. The main objectives of the comparison were to test a response of different raingauges, to control the measured amounts of precipitation during rain showers and light rain, and to find an influence of a high wind speed on the measured amounts. The comparison was very helpful for a selection a reliable instrument for desired geographical region, an interpretation of present weather sensor data and for involving these instruments in the network of automated weather stations in Croatia.
