Abstract: The characteristics of the pyrotechnic nucleant Silverspare, containing only 2% by weight of silver iodide and produced in the USSR are investigated and compared with other widely used materials. It was found that it had ...

Abstract: Time-resolved hail and raindrop size distributions measured simultaneously during a multicellular hailstorm are presented. The time variation of the size distributions allowed a detailed analysis of the structure of the ...

Abstract: Equations describing the isotopic balance between five water species (vapor, cloud water, rainwater, cloud ice and graupel)have been incorporated into a one-dimensional steady-state cloud model. The isotope contents of the ...

Abstract: Hailstone collections were made in seven storms well documented by radar measurements. This sections were prepared of over 2000 hailstones for crystallographic analysis of embryos and growth layers. The majority of the ...

Abstract: The relationship between radar reflectivity and kinetic energy flux (Z-?) is investigated by means of analyses of hailstone size distributions measured with hail spectrometers. Semi-empirical relations assuming monodisperse ...

Abstract: One of the Soviet seeding criteria used to detect hail cells at an early stage of development is examined. The radar history of 195 strong convective cells is studied and compared with information of a dense hailpad network ...

Abstract: The kinetic energy of hailfalls is measured with a 10 cm radar. For comparison of the results a total of 204 hailpad stations was used covering an area of 780 km2, i.e., one pad per 3.8 km2. The experimental setup is such ...

Abstract: The main results of a randomized hail suppression experiment, Grossversuch IV, are presented in this paper. Grossversuch IV tested the ?Soviet? hail prevention method during five years (1977?81). The field experiment took ...
