What Happened
The bigger the hailstone, the more damage it can cause.
Why It Matters
But scientists find that predicting hailstone size can be challenging.
Key Details
- How quickly does hail melt as it falls?
- Now, you can help tackle this question by joining the SouthEast Region CoCoRaHS Hail (SEaRCH) project.
- This network of backyard weather observers includes volunteers of all ages and backgrounds who work together to measure and report hail in their local communities.
- SEaRCH is also part of the NASA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), and National Science Foundation supported Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow (CoCoRaHS) network, whose amateur weather sleuths report rain and snow.
