Hailstorm Detection by Satellite Microwave Radiometers
Remote Sensing, 2020 Passive microwave measurements from satellites have been used to identify the signature of hail in intense thunderstorms. The scattering signal of hailstones is typically observed as a strong depression of upwelling brightness temperatures from the cloud

Monthly Weather Review, 1964 Abstract A climatological study of hailstorms is presented for the State of Wisconsin and for four first order weather stations: Green Bay, La Crosse, Madison, and Milwaukee. The analysis considers the geographical and time distribution of hail and the ratio of monthly average number of hailstorms to monthly average number of thunderstorms.

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the effects of male and female empowerment, as well as gender empowerment inequality, on the adoption of climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) practices. Using a conditional mixed process model, we analyse survey data from 743 households across Henan, Shandong and Hebei provinces in China.

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Humanity – the virtue enabling meaningful human connection – is vital to the leadership we need to survive our polycrisis context. As a prerequisite to sustainable human community, the virtue of humanity is considered universal. It has been claimed as a ‘higher‐order virtue’, comprised of and enacted by – but irreducible to – a suite of ‘lower‐

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023 The behaviour of severe thunderstorms, particularly supercells, in complex terrain is still poorly understood. Utilising 6 years of radar-, lightning- and radiosounding-based thunderstorm data in the domain of the Swiss radar network, we study different ...

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.Abstract Index insurance lowers agricultural risk but covers only covariate risks. Since farmers do not have complete insurance, they may develop mistrust of insurance when experiencing crop losses and not receiving payouts. Although recent innovations in remote sensing enable the provision of more complete insurance including coverage for ...

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract The spatial correlation of streamflow in a river network captures how flows at different locations relate to one another and influence the downstream response. In this study, we analyze the spatial correlation of streamflow and rainfall during storm events in three Texas watersheds: San Antonio (2015 and 2016 storms), Guadalupe (2018 storm ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract Two supercell thunderstorms that occurred in Del Rio and Burkburnett, Texas in the spring of 2020 produced greater than 5 cm diameter hailstones. Fourteen hailstones, eight from Del Rio and six from Burkburnett, were cut in half along the maximum principal axis. Half the hailstone was dissected at 0.5 cm increments, providing 198 subsamples of
