Short summary
Hailstones often exhibit opaque and clear ice layers that have an onion-like appearance. These layers are record of the conditions during growth and can be simulated by hail growth models. A new technique for automating the measurement of these layers from hail cross sections is demonstrated. This technique is applied to a collection of hailstones from Melbourne, Australia, to understand their growth evolution, and a first look at evaluating a hail growth model is demonstrated.
