A triplet of gray-scale images corresponding to the three cameras of the MASC

A large quantity of geometrical, textural descriptors and the pre-compiled output of published retrieval algorithms as well as basic environmental information at the location and time of each measurement.

The pre-computed descriptors and retrievals are available either individually for each camera view or, some of them, available as descriptors of the triplet as a whole. A non exhaustive list of precomputed quantities includes for example:

Textural and geometrical descriptors as in Praz et al 2017

Hydrometeor classification, riming degree estimation, melting identification, as in Praz et al 2017

Blowing snow identification, as in Schaer et al 2020

Mass, volume, gyration estimation, as in Leinonen et al 2021

Data format and structure

The dataset is divided into four .parquet file (for scalar descriptors) and a Zarr database (for the images). A detailed description of the data content and of the data records is available here.
