Colorado scientists study hail as warming worsens damage
Original: Hail is a multibillion-dollar problem — and could get worse: At a #Colorado cold lab, scientists race to better understand hail in a warming world — Hannah Covington (High Country News) #ClimateChange
Hannah Covington reports for High Country News on a Colorado cold laboratory where scientists are racing to better understand hail as the climate warms. Hail already causes billions of dollars in damage each year in the United States, and researchers warn that changing atmospheric conditions could make storms more severe, making improved forecasting and physical understanding increasingly urgent.
Why now: Rising hail damage costs and concern that climate change is intensifying severe storms are driving attention to this research.
