Abstract

During the summer of 1992 an independent evaluation of several hail detection techniques was begun. Specifically, this study seeks (1) to test suggested detection techniques on a large data sample and (2) to determine the added value, if any, that multiparameter radar measurements give over hail storm designations based on radar reflectivity factor measurements alone. Indications are that, while simple reflectivity-based algorithms may correctly identify hail producing storms, multiparameter measurements more precisely specify the location and time of hailfalls and may yield useful information on hail size.
