Abstract
Prospects of the optical precipitation gauge OPTIOS for determination of dangerous weather phenomena associated with atmospheric precipitates are considered. The results of the heavy shower (more than 50 mm/h) measurement are presented. It is shown that the optical precipitation gauge OPTIOS allows estimation of precipitation characteristics to provide prompt warning of dangerous phenomenon occurrence.
