Abstract

Photographs of hydrometeors taken by the University of North Dakota Open Snowflake Camera for Research and Education (OSCRE) in-situ, single-camera hydrometeor imager. There were four OSCRE instruments deployed in tandem with the SuMHO teams with two OSCREs assigned to each team. Observations were made at locations around the United States plains region for the ICECHIP (In-situ Collaborative Experiment for the Collection of Hail In the Plains) campaign. The instruments goal is to identify the microphysical properties of hailstones (e.g. fall speed, size, and shape).
