PLUIE NETTE [3 records]

Record 1 2012-02-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Weather Stations and Meteorological Instruments and Equipment
CONT

The automatic recording rain gauge indicates each time there is a rainfall of at least 0.01", hence one may know not only how much rain fell during the day, but also exactly when it rained and the amount every five minutes.

CONT

Rainfall and throughfall were measured for each rainfall event during the monsoon season (June-September) using an automatic raingauge and 96 graduated containers, respectively.

Key term(s)
  • automatic raingage
  • automatic rain-gauge
  • automatic rain gauge
  • automatic rain-gage
  • automatic rain gage
  • automatic recording rain-gauge
  • automatic recording rain-gage
  • automatic recording raingage
  • automatic recording raingauge

French

Domaine(s)
  • Stations, instruments et équipements météorologiques
CONT

La pluie incidente(au dessus de la canopée) et la pluie nette(traversant la canopée) ont été mesurées pour chaque épisode pluvieux de la mousson(juin-septembre) grâce à un pluviographe automatique et à 96 pluviomètres gradués.

Record 2 1996-04-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
DEF

Unit hydrograph resulting from unit amount of effective precipitation applied to a drainage basin in an infinitesimally short time.

CONT

The instantaneous unit graph can be thought of as the hydrograph of surface runoff that would result if one inch of excess rainfall was precipitated instantaneously over the whole basin.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
DEF

Hydrogramme unitaire résultant d’une précipitation efficace de valeur unité sur un bassin pendant un temps infiniment court.

CONT

On peut assimiler l'hydrogramme unitaire instantané à l'hydrogramme du ruissellement de surface qui représenterait une pluie nette de un pouce tombée instantanément sur tout le bassin.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Medición y análisis (Ciencias)
  • Hidrología e hidrografía
DEF

Hidrograma unitario que resulta de una precipitación efectiva de valor de la unidad, sobre una cuenca en un tiempo infinitesimal.

Record 3 1977-03-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
  • Geology
OBS

In many instances the design problem does not require the accuracy, nor warrant the time involved to apply the more sophisticated infiltration approach to determine the net storm rain. For these cases, short-cut "index methods" will give acceptable results with less work.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
  • Géologie
OBS

Dans plusieurs cas, la conception d’un projet n’ exige pas de précision et ne justifie pas le temps requis à l'application de méthodes d’infiltration plus sophistiquées en vue de déterminer la hauteur nette de pluie. Dans ce cas "les méthodes des indices" permettront d’aller au plus court et aboutiront à des résultats acceptables avec moins de travail.
