Abstract:Using hail data at observational stations and in region (including observation stations and nonobservation place) in Shandong Province from 1960 to 2001, the hail climate characteristic of the two data sets is contrasted. The analysis results show that regional hail is obviously more than the hail on the observational stations, but the temporal and special distribution trend is basically consistent and the similar degree is over 86%. The representations of the climate characteristic expressed in the climate chart made with the hail data at observational stations is about 86%.
