analysis for almost 30 years. CAPMoN is currently collecting
precipitation at 29 sites across Canada and requires a new
collector that could be deployed at sites that have minimal
operator availability. The sites are often isolated and not
frequently visited so instrument reliability is an important
component.
Environment Canada's CAPMoN requires supply and delivery of one
(1) fully-functional programmable Sequential Precipitation
collector complete with all accessories and 12 months warrenty
to be delivered to Environment Canada in Downsview, Ontario
