Database managed by MS Access is intended for automated access to the data of hail suppression activities carried out by the paramilitary services of Roshydromet. The main function of the database is to store information and provide it to network users for carrying out scientific analysis and obtaining reference information. On the base of the collected and processed hailfall data, it is possible to automatically calculate the annual average and maximum number of days with hail in a year, the annual average of hail damaged area reduced to 100% loss, the annual average percentage of crop losses and annual hail damage. This information will help specialists study hailstorm development more in detail, including in particular categories of seeding targets, number of expended rockets, and evaluate the effectiveness of the cloud seeding operations, taking into account the accumulated operational data.
