Video In Situ Snowfall Sensor (VISSS) data for Ny-Ålesund (January 2025 - December 2025)

DOI

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 from January 2025 to December 2025. For further details on the VISSS Sensor see Maahn et al. (2024). The data from 2025-08-12 19:00 UTC to 2025-09-11 9:00 UTC is not usable due to processing issues.
