Snowflake Measurement and Analysis System (SMAS) UCONN
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/gpmgv/uconn/smas/data101
The Snowflake Measurement and Analysis System (SMAS) University of Connecticut (UCONN) dataset uses seven high-resolution cameras to reconstruct the three-dimensional structure of snowflakes based on photographs of the particles in freefall from multiple views.
Description
SMAS can measure and analyze multiple snowflakes at once. A CSV file is provided that includes additional details on each snowflake.
The SMAS was deployed in 2023-2024. The dataset contains data from January 14, 2023 to March 21, 2024 as BMP images and a single CSV file.
