pluviographe à pesée

OBS: Le poids du récipient est enregistré sur une feuille à diagramme enroulée sur un tambour d'horlogerie.
CONT: Pluviographe à balance : le seau de réception est monté sur une balance à peson liée au système d'inscription. La fusion des précipitations solides dans les pluviographes est généralement obtenue par réchauffement du cône (manchon chauffant électrique, brûleur à gaz de propane, ampoules à incandescence, ...) commandé par un thermostat.

OBS: The weight of the catch is recorded as inches of precipitation.
CONT: Weighing gauges are most useful in areas with frequent snow, since they measure any form of precipitation simply by weighing on a balance whatever falls into a pail. The downward motion of the pail as it fills with precipitation is transmitted to a recording chart on a clock-turned drum. Many of these gauges are equipped with a funnel which can be removed to permit the snow to fall directly into the pail. If accuracy of the snowfall measurements is important, the gauge should, of course, be shielded.

CONT: Pluviógrafo no qual a precipitação é recolhida num cilindro que está sobre uma balança. À medida que o cilindro se enche, um registrador registra o peso da água acumulada, calibrado em espessura de precipitação.
