Scientists trace hailstone origins using chemical fingerprints, overturning decades-old theories

A team of scientists has cracked open one of meteorology’s enduring mysteries—how hailstones grow inside storm clouds—using an innovative approach that analyzes chemical signatures locked in the ice. The findings, published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, challenge long-held assumptions about hail formation and could lead to improved severe weather prediction.
