Hail pad will be submitted. There are many tiny up-facing bumps on the hail pad, especially on the edges that I have previously interpreted as tiny hail stones (10x10x144=1440 total hits estimated). The bumps seem to have been erased over most of the pad by subsequent hits by raindrops or soft hail (perhaps 1 per square inch, or 144). I am now uncomfortable with this interpretation and think that the tiny bumps may result from the interaction of rain or freezing rain with the surface texture of the Styrofoam backing of the hail pad. Has any careful research been done on the deformation and interpretation of hail pads by rain and hail at a range of temperatures. The hail pad collected at 7AM on 7/12 was deployed since 6/22, during which time 1.19 in of precipitation fell in the rain gauge in 13 events. Minor indentation due mainly to rain occurred on the hail pad previously in the period, but |
