The influence of wind shear on Alberta hail storm activity.

Vertical wind shear is computed between the 28 possible pairs of the first 8 mandatory radiosonde levels. A hail severity index is defined. Statistically significant correlations between strong shear and hail-free days are found in 11 shear layers. Strong shears are also found to occur more frequently with low and high severity indices than with intermediate severity indices. [...]
