Summary
Steep mid-tropospheric lapse rates and high potential instability that support the development of SCSs. As a combined parameter we computed the Significant Hail Parameter (SHIP; NOAA SPC, 2014), designed as indicator for environments favourable to hail It is multiplicatively composed of five quantities: 500hPa temperature; 700–500hPa lapse rate; water vapour mixing ratio of an ascending air parcel; the respective convective available potential energy (CAPE); and deep layer shear (DLS), the wind vector difference between the ground and 6km height. SHIP values widely exceeded 2.0, Muehldorf am Inn, 75km east of Munich (in operation since 1953), registered the Damage locally even 3.0, reflecting very good condi- strongest gust during the 3-day period with Damage reports from insurers are quite tions for large hail (>5cm; Figure 7(h)). Stations hit by the MUC-19 hailstorm are marked with an asterisk (*)
