Abstract: Aerial photographs of crop-hail damage areas have revealed a smaller-scale feature of damage patterns than has previously been reported. These features, called ?hailstripes,? are long, narrow (15?30 m width) stripes of ...

Abstract: Data from 103 hail echoes on 24 days in 1967 and 50 no-hail echoes from the same days were analyzed to describe hailstorm characteristics and to provide information useful in operational detection and forecasting of ...

Abstract: Surface winds which accompany the fall of hail have a profound effect on crop damage. Quantitative estimates of the horizontal and total flux of hailstone kinetic energy can be made with simple theoretical considerations ...

Abstract: Studies of small-scale variability of hailfall parameters are being pursued using fine-scale networks of passive hail sensors of various designs. These studies have revealed the great variability which exists in objective ...

Abstract: The characteristics of commonly used surface hail instruments are reviewed and instruments evaluated. The instruments evaluated have been classified into two major categories: integrating and recording. The integrating ...

Abstract: A description is given of a broad program to Design and Experiment to Suppress Hail (DESH) in Illinois. This program draws on results acquired during 17 years of extensive hail research in Illinois. There are two principal ...
