From Radar to Risk: Building a High-Resolution Hail Database for Austria And Estimating Risk Through the Integration of Distributional Neural Networks into the Metastatistical Framework
This study makes significant contributions to the understanding of hail climatology in Austria. First, it introduces a comprehensive database of hailstone sizes, constructed from three-dimensional radar data spanning 2009 to 2022 and calibrated by approximately 5000 verified hail reports. The database serves as foundation for describing the short-term climatology of hail and provides the data necessary for estimating hail risk maps with enhanced spatial resolution and quality. Second, the…
