Summary: | The open source Video In Situ Snowfall Sensor (VISSS) is a novel instrument for the characterization of particle shape and size in snowfall. The VISSS consists of two cameras with LED backlights and telecentric lenses that allow accurate sizing and combine a large observation volume with relatively high resolution and a design that limits wind disturbance. Here, movies and images of falling precipitation particles are provided for station Ny-Ålesund in 2021-2022. For further details on the VISS Sensor see Maahn et al. (2023). |
