Explain how hail forms? You need to understand that the middle part of a cumulonimbus cloud, where the air temperature is between -40° C and 0° C, there exists a combination of ice and supercooled liquid water droplets, which are cloud droplets that remain liquid even though the temperature is below the normal freezing point of liquid water. This should be part of your explanation. How large can hail get? Why are strong updrafts necessary to produce extremely large hail?
Why is the accurate observation of atmospheric water vapor important? What are the primary means of measuring water vapor in the atmosphere? What advantages and disadvantages are associated with each method?
