Short summary
Hail represents a natural hazard in Germany and has potentially substantial economic and environmental impacts, but it often receives less attention than other weather phenomena. In this study we focus on hail frequency, sizes and spatial distribution in Germany based on crowdsourcing and weather radar data. We compare different algorithms based on weather radar data with crowdsourced data and show the annual and diurnal cycle of hail in Germany.
