[...] la précipitation P «s'exprime en kilogrammes par mètre carré»; c'est une quantité homogène à une pression. D'autre part, comme un litre d'eau pèse un kg, on peut dire que la précipitation P désigne le nombre de litres d'eau tombés par mètre carré. En rassemblant ces P litres dans un récipient cylindrique de 1 m² de base, à génératrices verticales, l'eau s'élèverait dans le récipient sur une hauteur égale à P millimètres. C'est pourquoi, très souvent, la précipitation est exprimée par une hauteur évaluée en millimètres.

Les expressions «quantité de pluie» et «hauteur de pluie» sont des expressions utilisées indifféremment par les météorologues pour désigner la même grandeur. En toute rigueur (scientifique), l'expression «hauteur de pluie» est à utiliser lorsque l'on désigne l'épaisseur d'eau au sol résultant d'une chute de pluie, grandeur généralement exprimée en mm; l'expression «quantité de pluie» est à utiliser lorsque l'on se réfère au volume d'eau occasionné par une chute de pluie, que l'on exprime alors soit en litres/m², soit en m³ si l'on a fait au préalable référence à une surface qui a reçu ces pluies (surface d'une ville, bassin versant d'une rivière, etc.).

Delineating between new snow and old snow presents a challenge. A snow board (generally a sheet of plywood) can provide an artificial surface at the top of the existing snow. Snow boards are laid on top of old snow when there is any possibility of new snow falling. After each observation of new snow, the board is cleaned and placed in a new location. Board placement and measurement location are the greatest source of error in determining new snow. 4, record 9, English, - snow%20board

La table à neige est une planche de bois carrée sur laquelle est fixée une tige de 30 cm de hauteur. Cette tige permet de repérer l'instrument. Suite à une chute de neige, on enfonce une règle jusqu'à la planche, on peut donc connaître la hauteur de celle-ci. La règle a un mètre de longueur, graduée en cm et en cinquième de cm. C'est aussi en cm que se fait la mesure de l'accumulation moyenne de chaque chute de neige. Il est difficile de calculer exactement l'épaisseur du couvert de neige. C'est pourquoi il faut planter des bâtons à plusieurs endroits et déduire la moyenne des épaisseurs obtenues.
