Abstract
A primary goal of hailstorm research has been an understanding of the temporal and spatial evolution of embryos into hailstones. A hail storm is analyzed, for which aircraft penetrations, hailpads and hailcubes, Doppler radars, and the NCAR CP-2 dual-wavelength (10 and 3 cm) radar located at Grover, Colo. provided an extensive data base for this work. Dual-wavelength hail detection was investigated by comparing dual-wavelength measurements with those provided by the other instruments. A two-stage hail growth model is proposed in which hail embryos originate in feeder cells and then are transferred into the main updraft region where they continue to grow.
