Abstract
The purpose of this study was to measure, with the help of a sensor measuring the impact of hailstones, the physical characteristics of hailfalls point‐by‐point, and to extend these measurements to a larger surrounding area. The results of calibrations and data‐handling methods, applying to a type of hailpad used in France and in Switzerland, are presented. The sources of error due to the pad, to the natural variability of the hailfalls and to the integration of the data over area are then reviewed.
