The Problem of Forecasting Hail Encounters During Flights through Thunderstorms 1

Paul E. Lehr

Open full text 1 citations

Abstract

Although it is known that hail is formed in thunderstorms, relatively little is known about positive means of forecasting the probability of encountering hail during flights through thunderstorms. To provide guidance toward a solution of this problem, characteristics of thunderstorm-hail occurrences in the Alberta Province of Canada and the continental United States, exclusive of Alaska, are discussed.
