Hail characteristics of different regions in continental part of Croatia based on influence of orography
Settled in the mid latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, Croatia is exposed to the frequent occurrence of severe thunderstorms and hail, especially in the continental part between Sava, Drava and Mura rivers (Pannonian basin). On the basis of the hail fall data collected in the continental part of Croatia which is protected from hail (26, 800 km^2) in period 1981-2006, it is found that, two different areas can be identified: western (hilly) part with the greatest number of days with hail, and eastern generally flat part which has mostly minimum days with hail. Spatial distribution of hailfall duration shows that majority of quadrants with longer average duration of hail fall are settled in the front of the mountains. Concerning the analysis of the hail pads data collected in period 2001-2006, it is also found that the areas with grater diameter of hail can be found in front of the mountains.
