The kinetic energy of hailfalls. Part III: sampling errors inferred from radar data.

Abstract

The representativeness of hailfall kinetic energies derived from point measurements of networks is studied by means of radar data of hail cells. The 202 cells were observed within a radius of 60 km from the 10 cm radar. Different Cartesian networks with grid sizes of 0.5-4 km are constructed and used to determine estimates of global kinetic energies of the hail cells.-from Authors
