Abstract

Prospects for using the optical precipitation gage OPTIOS for detecting dangerous weather phenomena associated with atmospheric precipitates are considered. The results of heavy shower (more than 50 mm/h) measurements are presented. The optical precipitation gage OPTIOS is shown to allow estimation of precipitation characteristics to provide prompt warning of the occurrence of a dangerous phenomenon.
