Colorado cold lab studies hail in warming climate
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
High Country News reporter Hannah Covington examines hail damage, a problem costing billions of dollars annually in the United States and one that could intensify as the climate warms. At a cold laboratory in Colorado, scientists are working to better understand how hailstones form so they can improve forecasting and reduce losses to crops, vehicles and buildings.
Why now: Rising insured losses from severe hailstorms have renewed attention on research into how climate change may affect hail frequency and severity.
