This paper analyzed the continuous detecting data ofLanzhou CINRAD /CC Radar abouta hailprocess occurred in Dingxi on July 18, 2008, summarized themain characteristics of the radarproducts during this hailprocess such as reflectivity, radial velocity,RCS vertical section, vertical integrated liquid content and so on. Then it discussed the detection methods for monitoring hail by DopplerRadar, found out the typical echo characteristic of supercell storms such as hook echo, bounded weak echo region(BWER),echowal,l suspended echo, obvious influx nick, existingmesocyclone etc., and summed up some informationwhich are good fornowcasting ofhai,l such as severe change ofVIL, corresponding relationship ofET and hailprocess, obvious three-body scatter characteristic and so on, these information will be of great value for us to detect severeweather events by radar.

Based on the basic observationaldata and automaticweather station data, a regionalheavy dust storm occurred onApril29,2009 inHexiCorridorwas analyzed from the causes of the synopticmeteorology, physics quantity fields and so on.The results show that itwas a duststorm thatcaused by the gale behind the cold front, and ithappened in the zone ofstrong pressure gradient. Groundmeteorological elements had a strong response to the outbreak of the dust storm, which can be used as a reference for forecast of dust storms. Therewas an obvious upwardmotion in the outbreak area ofduststorm with the lower level convergence and the high-leveldivergence. The frontogenesis function and helicity indicated the area of dust storm verywel.l
