Systems and Methods For Inferring Localized Hail Intensity
First Claim
1. A method of processing weather data comprising:
- receiving a meteorological data corresponding to a geographic region from at least one meteorological data source for a selected time slice, the meteorological data including radar reflectivity data;
processing said meteorological data to derive probability of severe hail for points within the geographic region;
processing said meteorological data to derive vertically integrated liquid for said points within the geographic region;
processing said meteorological data to derive enhanced echo tops for said points within the geographic region;
processing said vertically integrated liquid and said enhanced echo tops to derive vertically integrated liquid density for said points within the geographic region;
processing said probability of severe hail and said vertically integrated liquid density to derive derived hail index numbers for said points within the geographic region; and
generating a data packet of said derived hail index numbers, each of said derived hail index numbers corresponding to a local geographic point.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to system and method of processing meteorological data. The process comprises receiving a meteorological data corresponding to a geographic region from at least one meteorological data source for a selected time slice, with the meteorological data including radar reflectivity data. The system processes the meteorological data to derive probability of severe hail for points within the geographic region, processes the meteorological data to derive vertically integrated liquid for the points within the geographic region, and processes the meteorological data to derive enhanced echo tops for the points within the geographic region. The system processes the vertically integrated liquid and the enhanced echo tops to derive vertically integrated liquid density for the points within the geographic region and processes the probability of severe hail and the vertically integrated liquid density to derive derived hail index numbers for the points within the geographic region. The system generate data packets of the derived hail index numbers, with each of the derived hail index numbers corresponding to a local geographic point.
