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.  5, record 1, English, - weighing%20rain%20gauge

The two types of automatic rain gages used in the County are weighing buckets and tipping buckets. Most of the rainfall records in the County are collected with weighing bucket gages. A weighing bucket consists of a collection bucket for receiving and storing the precipitation, a weighing device for measurement, and an indicating dial to display, in inches, precipitation gathered by the collector. The weighing bucket mechanically converts the depth of accumulated precipitation during a given period (5 or 15 minutes), to a code disk position. This code disk position is recorded on punched paper tape at the selected intervals.  8, record 1, English, - weighing%20rain%20gauge

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.  2, record 1, French, - pluviographe%20%C3%A0%20pes%C3%A9e

Pluviographes [...] Type à pesée. Dans ces instruments, le poids d'un récipient récepteur, plus la hauteur de pluie recueillie depuis le début de l'enregistrement, est enregistré continuellement soit au moyen d'un mécanisme à ressort, soit par un système de poids de balance. Toutes les précipitations sont ainsi enregistrées au fur et à mesure qu'elles sont recueillies [...] Ce type d'instrument est principalement utile pour enregistrer la neige, la grêle et des mélanges de neige et de pluie [...] Il enregistre les précipitations solides sans qu'elles aient à être fondues préalablement.  5, record 1, French, - pluviographe%20%C3%A0%20pes%C3%A9e

A vast amount of sea ice information is today available at the various ice services in the world. Almost all of this information is stored in the form of ice charts for operational purposes. For statistical or climatological use the chart format is however not convenient and the information needs to be digitized. This is done by assigning numerical values to the ice parameters and to read these values at given grid points on the chart. The charts prepared by the various ice services do not all contain the same number of parameters. The resolution and accuracy also vary according to the use for which the charts are intended. A large degree of flexibility has therefore to be built into the design of both code, format and grid. It should allow digitization of historical ice charts as well as current ones in order to obtain a comprehensive computer-compatible sea ice data bank which is currently updated. The SIGRID format is mainly designed to meet larger scale climate requirements but it may also be used by national services for other purposes.  1, record 3, English, - Format%20for%20Gridded%20Sea%20Ice%20Information
