Hail is a form of solid precipitation. [ 1] It is distinct from ice pellets (American English "sleet"), though the two are often confused. [ 2] It consists of balls or irregular lumps of ice, each of which is called a hailstone. [ 3] Ice pellets generally fall in cold weather, while hail growth is greatly inhibited during low surface temperatures.
Phoenix, Arizona, US. The 5 Oct. hailstones - some exceeding 2 inches in diameter - pounded cars, smashed windows and blasted apart roof tiles and shingles. The storm caused more than $2.7 billion in property damage, putting Arizona atop the 2010 list of states with the most insured-property losses.
Record hail Vivian SD 2010. (NOAA) Because hail formation is a complicated process, few studies have examined whether a warming world produces larger hailstones or more days with hail. The IPCC ...
A hail cannon is a shock wave generator claimed to disrupt the formation of hailstones in the atmosphere. These devices frequently engender conflict between farmers and neighbors when used, [ 1] because they are loudly and repeatedly fired every 1 to 10 seconds while a storm is approaching and until it has passed through the area, yet there is ...
Hailstones the size of baseballs landed in Texas on Thursday, as a spate of storms and severe weather left more than 200,000 energy customers across five states in the South without power as ...
The massive hail stone is believed to be a new state record, topping a 6.4-inch (16.25-centimeter) hail stone found in Hondo in 2021. It still must be confirmed by a group of researchers that ...
The Collatz conjecture states that all paths eventually lead to 1. The Collatz conjecture[ a] is one of the most famous unsolved problems in mathematics. The conjecture asks whether repeating two simple arithmetic operations will eventually transform every positive integer into 1.
Graupel (/ ˈ ɡ r aʊ p əl /; German: [ˈɡʁaʊpl̩] ⓘ), also called soft hail or snow pellets, [1] is precipitation that forms when supercooled water droplets in air are collected and freeze on falling snowflakes, forming 2–5 mm (0.08–0.20 in) balls of crisp, opaque rime. [2] Graupel is distinct from hail and ice pellets in
