Synoptic Background and Atmospheric Conditions for Hailstorms in Weining (Yunnan‐Guizhou Plateau): Multi‐Source Data Support and Machine Learning‐Based Parameter Importance Ranking
Abstract
Abstract Hailstorms over the Yunnan‐Guizhou Plateau cause significant losses in key cash crops such as tobacco, inflicting substantial economic impacts. Weining, an eastern plateau region prone to spring‐summer hailstorms, requires further research on hailstorm environmental conditions to improve forecasting and disaster mitigation. This study investigates these aspects using multi‐source data, objective classification, vorticity diagnostics, and machine learning (ML) to derive robust conclusions. Results show hailstorms predominantly occur in afternoon–evening producing hailstones mostly with diameters
