Abstract: A T-28 aircraft has been extensively modified and instrumented to be used as a hailstorm penetration vehicle. The structure of the aircraft was strengthened and all leading edges were armor plated to protect the aircraft ...

Abstract: This paper describes results of two penetrations of a moderate intensity storm made by an armored T-28 aircraft on 22 July 1972 as a participant in the National Hail Research Experiment. The penetrations showed multiple ...

Abstract: Precipitation particle sizes were measured using a continuous hydrometeor sampler (foil impactor) during penetrations of hailstorms with an armored T-28 aircraft. Data have been analyzed from three penetrations of a storm ...

Abstract: A model of an evolving hailstorm is synthesized from data presented in four related papers in this issue. The storm model, which is applicable to a class of ordinary multicell hailstorms and similar to earlier models derived ...
