The purpose of this research project is to develop a system to measure, record, and transmit hailfall data, including the time evolution at the ground of the hailstone size distribution, the kinetic energy of hailfall, and the accumulated hail mass. It is expected that existing hail momentum sensors, based on 20-year-old technology, will be updated using a new technology such as piezo film. This project will be carried out by a consortium of undergraduate institutions, and will be worked on primarily by undergraduate students in electrical and mechanical engineering design courses, and undergraduate research courses.

本研究项目的目的是开发一个系统， 测量、记录和传输降雹数据，包括时间 冰雹粒径分布的地面演变， 降雹动能和冰雹累积质量。 是 预计现有的冰雹动量传感器，基于20岁， 技术，将更新使用新技术，如压电薄膜。 这个项目将由一个大学生联合会进行， 机构，并将主要由本科生工作 电气和机械工程设计课程的学生，以及 本科研究课程。
