Identification of Hail Cloud with Atmospheric Energy Method

With GMS TBB data and the moist available energy method, an analysis of the nine hail fallout processes in Bameng area on 1998 is made. It suggests: (1) the temperature of cloud top and its horizontal gradient were important parameters for identification of hail cloud; (2) as hail cloud genesis there was a tongue of high energy at the low level and a center of low energy at the mid and upper level while a center of negative energy advection was located over its north and northwest.
