Hailstone Shape Factor and Its Relation to Radar Interpretation of HailSource: Journal of Climate and Applied Meteorology:;1986:;Volume( 025 ):;Issue: 012::page 1956Author:Knight, Nancy C.

Abstract: The shape factor of hailstones, defined as the ratio of their long and short axes (m?/m), has been measured for hailstones from three geographical areas: northeastern Colorado, central Oklahoma and central Alberta. The results show a general tendency toward decreasing sphericity with increasing size and are different for different areas. The results are relevant to remote hail sensing by radar techniques utilizing polarization.
