Hail Recognition through the Combined Use of Radar Reflectivity and Cloud-Top TemperaturesSource: Monthly Weather Review:;1994:;volume( 122 ):;issue: 009::page 2218Author:Auer, August H.

Abstract: A technique is described whereby the radar reflectivity can he combined with cloud-top temperature, from either satellite imagery and/or sounding analysis, to provide a reliable discrimination between heavy rain and/or hail in convective clouds. Hail sizing is also possible. During an all-season operational evaluation throughout New Zealand, the discrimination scheme yielded a probability of detection of 91% with a false-alarm ratio of only 12%.
