I have been dwelling on the fluid dynamics of tornados and how they form.
I am confused on one point. Is hail formed on the upper surface of the cone as the cell spreads and falls in
or is it formed in the cell itself as a byproduct of the cell vortex
If it is the funnel surface that would imply an incredible level of surface tension. I find the relationship between surface tension and weather formation very fascinating. Has research in this area been done and
if so is it available in laymen's terms.
