ABSTRACT:
A hail sensor is disclosed which contains a piezoelectric transducer positioned to produce an output signal when it is vibrated by a hailstone. In one embodiment, the transducer is mounted on a perforated member which is exposed to falling precipitation. In an alternative embodiment, the hailstone impacts a rebound surface and is deflected toward the transducer where an electrical output is produced.
