# Python Hail Retrieval Toolkit (pyhail) ⛈️📡🧊
This toolkit provides a collection of hail retrieval techniques for weather radar data.
### Library Dependencies
- numpy
- scipy
- numba
### Supporter radar file readers
- [PyART](https://github.com/ARM-DOE/pyart)
- [PyOdim](https://github.com/vlouf/pyodim)
### Notebook plotting Dependencies
- matplotlib
### Hail Retrivals
- *Hail Size Discrimination Algorithm - HSDA ([Ortega et al. 2016](https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/10.1175/JAMC-D-15-0203.1))
- Hail Differential Reflectivity - HDR ([Depue et al. 2007](https://doi.org/10.1175/JAM2529.1))
- Maximum Expected Size of Hail - MESH witt1998 ([Witt et al. 1998](https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/10.1175/1520-0434%281998%29013%3C0286%3AAEHDAF%3E2.0.CO%3B2))
- Maximum Expected Size of Hail - MESH mh2019_75/mh2019_95 ([Murillo and Homeyer 2019](https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/apme/58/5/jamc-d-18-0247.1.xml))
- Accumulated Hail - hAcc ([Wallace et al. 2019](https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/wefo/34/1/waf-d-18-0053_1.xml))
*Note that the Q confidence vector from Park et al. 2009 has not been implemented and all pixels are assigned a value of q=1.
MESH is implemented for both pyart radar (PPI) and grid (Cartesian) data!
### Install using pypi
