pluviometricadj.

Brit.

/ˌpluːvɪə(ʊ)ˈmɛtrɪk/, U.S.

/ˌpluvioʊˈmɛtrɪk/

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

Etymology: < classical Latin pluvia rain (see pluvial adj. and n.²) + -o- connective + -metric comb. form, after pluviometer n. Compare French pluviométrique (1832), Italian pluviometrico (1871). Compare earlier pluviometrical adj.With pluviometric coefficient n. at main sense compare French fraction pluviométrique ( A. Angot Traité élém. de météorol. (1899) iii. iii. 234) (see quot. 1915).

Of or relating to the measurement of rainfall; relating to or obtained by means of a pluviometer. pluviometric coefficient n. the ratio of the mean daily rainfall of a particular month to that of the whole year.
