Document Description
The NASA Snowflake Video Imager obtained nearly continuous data from 1 Dec 06 thru 7 Mar 07.
This presentation contains a summary for the entire data set, which is sorted into (a) priority days selected by GSFC investigators, and (b) non-priority days.
The results are displayed in images of DSD(t), which reveal (a) the large variability of snowflakes sizes during events and (b) the intermittency of snowfall – even during intense storms.
Additionally, results from a preliminary study of snowflake orientation reveals that there is a higher occurrence of snowflakes that are ‘horizontally’ orientated than ‘vertically’ orientated.
