Darrera supplies 5 weighing rain gauges and a hail sensor to the Meteorological Service of Catalonia

The new equipment will be part of the Automatic Weather Station Network (XEMA) of the Meteocat, which currently has over 225 observation points throughout Catalonia.

The innovative hail sensor measures with high accuracy and in real time the amount of fallen hailstones and classifies them according to their size. The detection technique is based on the vibration caused by the impact of each individual hailstone on a piezoelectric measurement surface.
