Abstract: By melting concentric layers of ice, the size distribution and concentration of solid water-insoluble particles accumulated in hailstones were determined for three hailstorms in Colorado. It was found that in approximately 50 per cent of the hailstones analyzed, particle concentration in ice increased with radial distance. Following an equation derived for this category of hailstones, a relationship is shown among liquid water content of a cloud, concentration of solid particles in cloud droplets, speed of the hailstone, and its residence time in the atmosphere. Spatial distribution of solid particles in hailstones was also determined by slicing hailstones and subsequently separating particles from the ice by sublimation under low pressure. It was found that some of the hailstones analyzed were oriented during their growth.
