Crop Damage: The Hail Size Factor [PDF]
Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1996 Abstract Between 1986 and 1992 a research project was developed and carried out on hail climatology and the economic repercussions of hail on agriculture in Leon (northwestern Spain). A target area with an extent of 6825 km2 was defined, within which a network of meteorological observers was established at an average density of 1 per 17 km2.

ROW COVERS, WATERMELON, AND HAIL DAMAGE [PDF]
HortScience, 1993 A factorial experiment with four mulch treatments (clear, black, or IRT plastic, and a non-mulched control), two planting types (seed vs. transplants), and two row cover treatments (with and without) was initiated to determine the harvest date of watermelon with these treatments. Experiments were planted in the field April 7. Row covers (Kimberly Farms,

Radar and environment-based hail damage estimates using machine learning [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement TechniquesLarge hail events are typically infrequent, with significant time gaps between occurrences at specific locations. However, when these events do happen, they can cause rapid and substantial economic losses within a matter of minutes.

HAIL DAMAGE IN FOREST STANDS [PDF]
The Forestry Chronicle, 1953 Hail occasionally causes severe damage in forest stands. Near Candle Lake, Saskatchewan, a severe bail storm damaged 70- to 80-year stands including mixed white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss), aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.), and jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.); and pure jack pine.
