The Risk of Encountering Hail in Flight

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 January 2010

Abstract

In the April 1961 number of the Meteorological Magazine, A. F. Crossley discusses Hail in Relation to the Risk of Encounters in Flight. Since it is probable that the Meteorological Magazine does not readily fall into the hands of members of the Institute of Navigation the following brief summary may be of interest, though of course anyone wishing to pursue the subject further should refer to Crossley's original paper and the numerous references therein.
