We have developed additive logistic models for the occurrence of lightning, large hail (≥ 2
cm), and very large hail (≥ 5 cm) to investigate the evolution of these hazards in the past, in …

Lasting updrafts are necessary to produce severe hail; conventional wisdom suggests that
extremely large hailstones require updrafts of commensurate strength. Because updraft …

The scientific community has long acknowledged the importance of high-temporal-resolution
radar observations to advance science research and improve high-impact weather …

Supercell storms are commonly responsible for severe hail, which is the costliest severe
storm hazard in the United States and elsewhere. Radar observations of such storms are …

Hail is one of the costliest natural hazards in Switzerland and causes extensive damage to
agriculture, cars, and infrastructure each year. In a warming climate, hail frequency and its …

Nowcasting hail size poses a major challenge in operational practice due to physical
limitations of weather radar technology once hailstones are sufficiently large to enter the …

This study uses a new, unique dataset created by combining multi-Doppler radar wind and
reflectivity analysis, diabatic Lagrangian analysis (DLA) retrievals of temperature and water …

Hailstorms are analyzed across the United States using explicit hailstone size calculations
from convection-permitting regional climate simulations for historical, mid-century, and end …

Additive logistic regression models for lightning (AR lig) and large hail (AR hail) were
developed using convective parameters from the ERA5 reanalysis, hail reports from the …

Although hail is a well-known meteorological hazard, it is hard to find long records of hail
observed at the ground with high spatial resolution. Most hail climatologies are based on …
