The invention relates to a device for measuring precipitation, in particular snowfall or hail, which has a measuring chamber (2) for receiving a precipitation particle (3), at least one light source (4) for radiating the measuring chamber (2) with light, and at least one sensor (5) for sensing an intensity of the light radiating through the measuring chamber (2). According to the invention, at least two measurement areas (6, 7) which are arranged one below the other are provided in the measuring chamber (2), and the intensity of the light radiating through each of the measurement areas (6, 7) can be detected separately. The invention further relates to a method for measuring precipitation.

Device and method for measuring precipitation

Disclosed are a disdrometer device and a method to operate the disdrometer device. The disdrometer device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a sheet beam dividing unit which divides a sheet beam into a first sheet beam and a second sheet beam; a sheet beam conveying unit which radiates the first sheet beam to a first point in an observation area and radiates the second sheet beam to a second point in the observation area positioned at a height which is different from the first point; and an image acquiring unit which acquires multiple images of an object falling down at the first point and the second point by collecting the first sheet beam passing the first point and the second sheet beam passing the second point.
