VISSS Raw data from SAIL at Gothic from November 2022 to June 2023
- ORNL
A Video in situ Snowfall Sensor (VISSS) records shadow images of precipitating hydrometeors from two perspective at a 90 degree angle with a frequency of 140 Hz. From this, hydrometeor properties such as particle size, shape, complexity, degree of riming, and fall velocity can be derived. The VISSS was set up next to the ARM mobile facility during the SAIL project located in the East River Watershed near Crested Butte, Colorado from November 2022 to June 2023. The deployment was funded by the CORSIPP project (Characterization of orography-influenced riming and secondary ice production and their effects on precipitation rates using radar polarimetry and Doppler spectra) funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). More information about the VISSS can be found in Maahn et al. 2023 (https://dx.doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2023-655 )
