Features: This book provides a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the distribution of thunderclouds and hail clouds in the Beijing area, weather processes, the echo characteristics of hail clouds detected by radar, and the microphysical structure of hail clouds. It further summarizes three types of hail clouds in the Beijing area, their identification indicators, and their evolution patterns. The book also introduces typical models of vertical airflow, water content, and hail formation in severe convective clouds, as well as the latest research findings on the catalytic effects, technical methods, statistical testing, and three-dimensional numerical simulation of hail cloud modification. This book can serve as a reference for disaster prevention and mitigation personnel, artificial weather modification workers, and professionals in meteorology, agriculture, hydrology, and related fields.
