Short summary
In this study, we investigate the impact of silver iodide (AgI) perturbations on eight hailstorms over Switzerland and southern Germany using the Consortium for Small-scale Modeling (COSMO) model. Generally, the impact of AgI seeding on hail is highly case-dependent and sensitive to the choice of tracking thresholds. However, in most cases, the mean hail size increases after seeding, while the hail-affected area decreases.
