Abstract
Extensive comparisons of dual-wavelength (10 and 3cm) radar data with observations at the ground and penetration aircraft (T-28) measurements of hail in a Colorado storm show that positive hail signals (10cm reflectivity factor exceeds that at 3cm) are well correlated with the presence of hail more than 1cm diameter. It is possible to discriminate two sizes of particles based on dual-wavelength radar measurements. -from Authors
