Hail growth in an Oklahoma multicell storm.

Abstract

Hail growth in an Oklahoma multicellular storm is studied using a numerical model of hailstone growth and decay and dual-Doppler derived wind fields. Hail was collected at the time of the Doppler radar data collection which provided input for computation of the modeled trajectories. A unique feature of this investigation is the subsequent comparison of model hail trajectories with deuterium derived trajectories obtained from the hail samples.-from Authors
