在过去的十年里，新的观测技术越来越多，导致了大量关于冰雹结构的描述性材料，其中许多都是零碎的。在本文中，我们回顾了有关冰雹动力学和微物理结构的知识现状，并试图将其纳入一个承认不同类型冰雹存在的连贯框架中。根据冰雹的已知特征，提出了一个风暴分类系统，并描述了冰雹增长的概念模式。这些模型在很大程度上依赖于间接证据和物理推理，需要根据新的证据加以改进或修订；然而，它们被认为为集中研究自然冰雹增长机制和抑制冰雹的概念提供了有用的基础。
The increasing availability of new observational techniques over the last decade has led to a great deal of descriptive material on the structure of hailstorms, much of it fragmentary. In this article we review the current state of knowledge concerning the dynamical and microphysical structure of hailstorms and we attempt to fit it into a coherent framework which recognizes the existence of different types of hailstorms. A storm classification system is presented and conceptual models are described which account for the growth of hail in terms of the known characteristics of hailstorms. The models, which lean heavily on circumstantial evidence and physical reasoning, will need to be refined or revised in the light of fresh evidence; nevertheless they are considered to provide a useful basis for focussing on mechanisms of natural hail growth and concepts for suppressing hail.
