On désigne en général par «averse» un ensemble de pluies associé à une perturbation météorologique bien définie. La durée d'une averse peut donc varier de quelques minutes à une centaine d'heures et intéresser une superficie allant de quelques kilomètres carrés (orages) à quelques milliers (pluies cycloniques). On définit finalement une averse comme un épisode pluvieux continu, pouvant avoir plusieurs pointes d'intensité. L'intensité moyenne d'une averse s'exprime par le rapport entre la hauteur de pluie observée et la durée t de l'averse [...] 5, record 1, French, - averse%20de%20projet
