Abstract

The data of some radar parameters of the convective cloud (maximum height of the radio-echo, maximum radar reflectivity, height of the center of maximum radar reflectivity, maximum sizes of hailstones and horizontal area of a hail cells of a cloud with a hail diameter ≥ 5 mm and ≥ 15 mm) during hail processes on 10 June 2017 above Rustavi municipality are cited. In particular it is shown that the diameter of hailstones in the cloud changed from 8 to 31 mm. From the fallen hail on the Rustavi auto-market to the different rate more than 5000 automobiles are damaged.

Keywords:
