Des pluviomètres totalisateurs sont utilisés dans les stations qui ne peuvent pas être visitées normalement ou fréquemment, dans les endroits isolés par exemple. Ils conviennent tant pour les précipitations liquides que solides. Ce sont des pluviomètres à grande capacité de stockage, souvent dotés d'un écran (de NIPHER par exemple), pour atténuer les remous au niveau de la bague et améliorer la quantité de leur échantillonnage, contenant un produit facilitant la fonte de la neige et évitant le gel de l'eau recueillie (chlorure de calcium ou éthylène glycol) et empêchant l'évaporation de cette dernière (pellicule d'huile de vaseline). 3, record 3, French, - pluviom%C3%A8tre%20totalisateur

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
A tipping bucket rain gage consists of a funnel and a rocker mechanism with two little "buckets" on it, located underneath the funnel. When rain falls into the funnel, it fills one of the little buckets on the rocker mechanism. Once a given amount of rain falls into the funnel, usually 0.01 inches, the rocker "tips" over, emptying one of the buckets and moving the other one underneath the funnel. A recorder in the gage records each tip and the time it occurred. The tipping bucket gage has its disadvantages, however. It cannot be used in freezing weather because the mechanism or the funnel hole can freeze solid. Sometimes the tipper mechanism doesn't work or double tips. 11, record 4, English, - tipping%2Dbucket%20rain%20gauge
