11Frequently asked questions

What is the specific technical scope of this assignment?
The assignment concerns the delivery of 50 catchment style precipitation gauges. These gauges must comply with the WMO specifications for precipitation accumulation, intensity, and duration. Additionally, the assignment includes 3rd line maintenance.
What is the technical requirement if a precipitation gauge cannot accurately report duration?
If a supplier cannot offer a catchment style gauge that reports duration with the required accuracy, the supplier may include an additional precipitation monitor or detector in the bid to operate in parallel with the gauge.
What is the motivation for replacing the current precipitation gauges?
The replacement is necessary because the current KNMI-designed precipitation gauges have been used in the KNMI automated precipitation gauge network since 1992.
Which phases are described in the verification process?
The verification process consists of three stages: Stage 1 (laboratory tests and field installation), Stage 2 (parallel test evaluation), and Stage 3 (continuation and completion of the evaluation).
