drosomètre. Le principe consiste à mesurer le poids de l'eau se condensant sur une surface réceptrice, souvent un treillis métallique. Cet instrument est extrêmement sensible au vent; il donne de plus des indications contestables car dépendant de la nature, de la forme et des dimensions du capteur. Il a tendance à être abandonné. 2, record 1, French, - drosom%C3%A8tre
