pluviographn.

Brit.

/ˈpluːvɪə(ʊ)ɡrɑːf/,

/ˈpluːvɪə(ʊ)ɡraf/, U.S.

/ˈpluviəˌɡræf/,

/ˈpluvioʊˌɡræf/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with English elements. Etymons: Latin pluvia , -o- connective, -graph comb. form.

Etymology: < classical Latin pluvia rain (see pluvial adj. and n.²) + -o- connective + -graph comb. form. Compare earlier pluviometer n.Quot. 1886 apparently refers to Robert Beckley, mechanic at the Kew Observatory from 1854 to 1871, who designed a rain gauge used widely in British observatories.

A recording rain gauge. Also: a record of rainfall made by such an instrument.

1948 E. E. Foster Rainfall & Runoff xii. 465 A number of pluviographs along patterns found in the region should be constructed and floods computed from them.

1974 Nature 4 Oct. 414/1 A Hellman type pluviograph and a Bristol gauge recorded rainfall and streamflow for 10 months.

1996 Austral. Jrnl. Soil Res. 34 149 Pluviograph data required to calculate rainfall erosivity are available for a small number of stations only.

1999 Jrnl. Hydrol. 220 4/2 The pluviographs were processed with a digitizing bench.
