Description:"The deployment and continued utilization of the Weather Surveillance Radar - 1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) network across the United States has resulted in an increase in severe local storm warning lead times and improved verification (Polger et al. 1994). As experience grows with the radar, new techniques are being developed to better utilize radar products and understand system limitations. Determining the likelihood of severe hail, currently defined as 0.75 inches (19 mm) in diameter, remains a significant forecast problem facing operational meteorologists monitoring the potential of severe local storms. Amburn and Wolf (1997) first compared maximum Vertically Integrated Liquid water content (VIL) values and associated Echo Tops (ET) to compute VIL densities (VIL / ET) which were successfully used as a predictor of large hail across the northeastern Oklahoma - northwestern Arkansas region"--Introduction.
