This sensor measures precipitation volumes with the tipping technique, where each signal is a fixed volume of water. It is located on the right moraine of Shalbachum Glacier (looking up-valley) in the Langtang valley. It is part of a North-South transsect in Langtang Valley to better understand precipitation gradients locally.
