“…In other parts of Asia recent climatologies have been derived for South Korea (1972‐2013; Jin et al, ) using data from 32 observation stations for hail 5 mm or greater, and for Mongolia using a similar approach (1984‐2013; Lkhamjav et al, ). While these records reflect important parts of the global understanding, the uneven distribution of stations in these countries means that these climatological frequencies may not be representative of the surrounding region.…”

“…Parameters that relate to updraft strength have proven to be popular candidates in both Europe and the US owing to the propensity of strong updrafts being necessary for hail growth (e.g. CAPE, mid‐level vertical lapse rate of temperature, Huntrieser et al, ; Manzato, ; Groenemeijer & van Delden, ; Kunz, ; Sánchez et al, ; Smith et al, ; Mohr & Kunz, ; Johnson & Sugden, ; Merino et al, ; Púčik et al, ; Tuovinen et al, ; Sanchez et al, ; Lkhamjav et al, ). Over Europe, for general hail occurrence, the fixed‐layer lifted index has also proven to be useful (Mohr & Kunz, ).…”

The processes leading to the development of hail and the distribution of these events worldwide are reviewed. Microphysical and physical characteristics of hail development are described to provide context of the notable gaps in our understanding of what drives hail to grow large, or what determines how it falls to the ground. Distributional characteristics of hail are explored, utilizing both surface observations of hailstones and remotely sensed observational data sets to identify opportunities and needs for new observations. These observational deficiencies contribute to our limited capacity to both forecast hail or its expected size and reduce the effectiveness of using favorable conditions for hail development as a proxy to frequency where observations are unavailable. Given the substantive influences of both climate variability and the changing Earth system on hail, the latest understanding of their contributions to risk are addressed. Applying this understanding of the distribution and physical characteristics of hail, the damage by hail to agriculture and insured property is assessed. Much remains unknown about the processes leading to hail growth and environmental controls on hail occurrence, size, and magnitude, particularly outside of the United States and Europe. A better understanding of the global occurrence of hail is also needed to better anticipate the hazard and associated impacts.

“…Precipitation is highest in summer (Burnik Šturm et al, 2017), Fig. 2), mainly in the form of thunderstorms and hail storms (Lkhamjav et al, 2017). In recent decades the number of wet days and heavy rainfall events has significantly increased (Endo et al, 2006).…”

“…The study results using thermodynamic parameters (closely related to the magnitude of the updraft) were very similar in Europe and in the USA. CAPE or the thermal gradient in the middle troposphere causes the increase in the updraft [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Recent research [17] has shown that a higher CAPE does not necessarily favour larger hail nor is it a very useful discriminator of size classes [12,14,18].…”

Using a database of 378 hail days between 1981 and 2020, the climatic characteristics of 23 convective parameters from sounding data and ERA5 data were statistically analysed. The goal of this work is to evaluate the usefulness and representativeness of convective parameters derived from sounding data and reanalysis data for the operational forecast of the hail phenomenon. As a result, the average values from 12:00 UTC were 433 J/kg for CAPE in the case of data from ERA5 and 505 J/kg from rawinsonde, respectively. The Spearman correlation coefficient matrix between the values of the parameters indicates high correlations among the parameters calculated based on the parcel theory, humidity indices, and the complex indices. The probability for large hail increases with high values of low-level and boundary-layer moisture, high CAPE, and a high lifting condensation level (LCL) height.
