With GRLevel3 or other radar products that indicates possible/probable hail and an approximate size ... My question is
Is the hail size [estimate] indicated based on perhaps the cell's ceiling height or is it somehow based off the actual reflectivity signature? Or a combination of factors? I guess what I'm asking is how often is there actually hail hitting the ground at the size GRLevel3 stated was possible?
And if the radar hail indications are reasonable accurate, is there a way or place to retrieve "hail shaft path" estimates in a reasonable resolution on a map in the day(s) following a given storm?
Thanks
