Tipping-bucket rain-gauges of cone diameter 400 cm² were used. Each tip, being equivalent to 0.5 mm of rainfall, is recorded to the nearest second on an EPROM or EEPROM cartridge. Thus it is possible to produce an accurate hyetogram for any rain event and to analyse its duration and cumulative rain depth. 4, record 2, English, - hyetograph

Représentation graphique de l'intensité de la pluie en fonction du temps. 2, record 2, French, - hy%C3%A9togramme
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Deux types de courbes déduites des enregistrements d'un pluviographe (pluviogramme) permettent d'analyser les averses d'une station : La courbe des hauteurs de pluie cumulée, le hyétogramme. La courbe des hauteurs de pluie cumulées représente en ordonnée, pour chaque instant t, l'intégrale de la hauteur de pluie tombée depuis le début de l'averse. Le hyétogramme est la représentation, sous la forme d'un histogramme, de l'intensité de la pluie en fonction du temps. Il représente la dérivée en un point donné, par rapport au temps, de la courbe des précipitations cumulées. Les éléments importants d'un hyétogramme sont le pas de temps Dt et sa forme. Communément, on choisit le plus petit pas de temps possible selon la capacité des instruments de mesure. Quant à la forme du hyétogramme, elle est en général caractéristique du type de l'averse et varie donc d'un événement à un autre. 3, record 2, French, - hy%C3%A9togramme

A comparison of the isohyete (precipitation contours) map of amounts of rain from 7 and 8 May 1986, and the map of radioactivity shows that they coincide with each other very much, even when a portion of inputs previously entered soils by dry deposition. 1, record 3, English, - isohyete%20map

En zones sahélienne et tropicale sèche, l'évaluation de la pluviosité annuelle à partir de la couverture végétale naturelle est encore plus difficile qu'en zone subdésertique, d'autant plus que l'action de l'homme est ici beaucoup plus importante. On se fiera donc aux données générales des cartes d'isohyètes et aux relevés de quelques postes pluviométriques, même de courte durée, en s'astreignant à une très sérieuse étude critique des observations. 3, record 3, French, - carte%20d%27isohy%C3%A8tes
