Damaging Downburst Prediction and Detection Algorithm (DDPDA)
Algorithm Components
Hail Detection Algorithm
Parameters included in DDPDA's Combined Cell Data:
-
Probability of Severe Hail (POSH)
-
Probability of Hail (POH)
-
Maximum Hail Size
[Severe Hail Index is calculated above the freezing
level, and may be useful to look at]
[Try using the trend of POSH to issue HICORE
alerts]
User observations at WDSS proof-of-concept tests in Atlanta and Melbourne
have shown that cells with a high POSH in those summertime environments
frequently produce severe downbursts.
