Abstract

In the present study, which has been made by a Decca type 41 radar, it has been shown that the hailstorms over Kamptee situated at a distance of 10 n, miles towards northeast of the radar station had occurred due to the presence of a rotational echo with characteristic hook features, An attempt has been made to find out (a) the speed and direction of the movement of the rotational and non-rotational echoes and their collision courses in directional convergence, (b) to calculate the terminal velocity of the precipitation particles and the corresponding particle size from the streamers, associated with a prominent hook echo and (()) to suggest the probable time of occurrence and end of the hailstorm over Kamptee.
