Rain Gage

A rain gage is an instrument that measures amounts of liquid precipitation, which is indeed generally spelled "gage," not "gauge."

Texas Electronics Rain Gage
The Texas Electronics Rain Gage funnels precipitation into a bucket that tips when the calibrated level is reached. As the bucket tips a magnet attached to the tipping mechanism flips a switch, sending information to the Data Logger. The Texas Electronics Rain Gage measures up to 0.01 inch increments.
