PVI
Definition
- PVI is an instrument designed by Dr. Larry Bliven at NASA Wallops Flight Facility. Its high-frame-rate records of grey-scale images is able to determine particle size in both rain and snow. A description of PVI, also called Snowflake Video Imager, is documented in Newman, A.J., Kucera, P.A. and Bliven, L.F. 2009. 'Presenting the Snowflake Video Imager (SVI).' Journal of Atmospheric and Ocean Technology, 26, pp 167-179.
