A comparative analysis was conducted on the self-recording precipitation data from the ZL-YX2020 integrated rain and snow gauge and manual observation data at Mashang Hydrological Station from July 2023 to June 2024. The results showed that the qualification rate of the two instruments in terms of precipitation days was 98.5%, the qualification rate of daily precipitation was 95.4%, the qualification rate of monthly precipitation was 100%, and the correlation coefficient of the comparison was 0.999 9. The analysis indicated that the comparison errors were mainly caused by instrument vibration due to wind and misjudgment of data caused by falling foreign objects. The comparison results showed that the ZL-YX2020 integrated rain and snow gauge has good stability and high accuracy of self-recording precipitation data. After eliminating abnormal data, the self-recording precipitation data can be applied to the data compilation of annual precipitation.
