Abstract: Raindrop spectra are measured with an electromechanical raindrop spectrometer, responding to drops >0.3 mm in diameter. The radar reflectivity profile is measured simultaneously with a 5-cm vertically pointing radar. ...

Abstract: The multipeak behavior of raindrop size distributions has been studied. Peaks have been found for distinct drop diameters: 0.7, 1.0, 1.9, and possibly 3.2 mm. The probability is about 65% that at least one of these peaks ...

Abstract: The representativeness of hailfall kinetic energies derived from point measurements of networks is studied by means of radar data of hail cells. The 202 cells were observed within a radius of 60 km from the 10 cm radar. ...

Abstract: The standard deviation of the rain intensity R and the reflectivity factor Z are derived theoretically for R and Z values which are calculated from measured distributions of raindrop size. The derivation is based on the ...

Abstract: Radar reflectivity profiles of 154 hail cells have been investigated. An average profile (the hail profile) has been derived. A global method has been used since the hail profile is designed to be applied to global hail ...

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: 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 ...
