Description
CDY-15A Optical Rain Sensor
The CDY-15A optical rain sensor needs little maintenance and works well in different conditions. It can be used for automatic rainfall monitoring in tough environments.
This sensor is important for monitoring severe weather. It warns us about rainstorms, mountain floods, and debris flows. It has great potential for wide use and application.

Application
Meteorology and climate research:
◉An optical rainfall sensor is important for measuring rain at weather stations. It measures rainfall by detecting how raindrops block or scatter light. Optical rain sensors are more accurate than traditional rain gauges. They also give real-time data.
In weather observation, we can measure how much it rains and how strong each rain event is. This information helps make weather forecasts better.
◉Optical rainfall sensors can quickly detect changes in rain during weather disasters like storms and floods. When it rains a lot in a short time, it can reach a warning level. The weather department can quickly send out alerts.
Agricultural:
◉We install optical rainfall sensors on farms to monitor rainfall in real-time. Farmers can use the data from these sensors to decide if they need to irrigate.
◉Farmers can use data from optical rain sensors to improve their irrigation methods. These sensors record rainfall and crop growth over time. Farmers can then analyze the best irrigation patterns for their crops.
Transportation sector:
◉Optical rainfall sensors are placed along the highway to check rainfall in real time. When the sensor finds rain, it sends a signal to the traffic management system.
◉Optical rain sensors are placed around airport runways and taxiways. They help monitor rainfall on the runway surface. Water or a slippery runway can reduce friction between aircraft tires and the runway. This can threaten the safety of aircraft during takeoff and landing.
