## Abstract Measurements have been made of the speeds of ice objects resembling hailstones during free fall, and of the drag coefficients of such objects and of natural hailstones. It has been found that the drag coefficients range from those of spheres (about 0ยท45) to about 0ยท8, depending on the s

## Abstract Artifical hailstones having shapes and structures closely resembling natural oblate hailstones have been grown in a vertical icing tunnel. These hailstones were grown by spinning them about the minor axis and at the same time causing the minor axis to move in a conical manner about the
## Abstract Calculations have been made on the rate of melting of solid ice spheres and of graupel particles as they fall from the 0ยฐC level towards the ground. Graphs are drawn for particles of various initial radii showing the radius of the unmelted core as a function of the distance fallen, and
## Abstract Macklin's (1962) experimental study of ice accretions, together with estimates of the typical conditions in the cumulonimbus of cold air masses and of summer continental air masses, is used to deduce the density of ice in the hailstones produced by these clouds. It is shown that general
