This $277,610 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research comparing in-situ and polarimetric radar hail observations. The University of North Dakota will use existing polarimetric radar and storm-penetrating aircraft data to improve estimates of hail properties from radar. Researchers will process hydrometeor images, analyze radar data to identify times when sweeps intersected hail, and synthesize all data. The project aims to better understand how hail shapes, orientation, sizes, and concentrations influence radar signatures. It will also train multiple students and enhance software tools used by the scientific community. Commencing August 1, 2022, this two-year project will provide improved radar-based hail warnings to operational forecasters through analyzing concurrent aircraft and radar observations of hail from 1987-2003.
