On the Economic Feasibility of Using Mobile Impact Points in the Krasnodar Anti-Hail Service

The article presents a classification of the causes of hail omissions in the Krasnodar Anti-Hail Service, made on the basis of the results of investigations of cases of large hail strikes in recent years, presented in the annual reports of the service. Of all the reasons for hail skips, the main attention is paid to a group of reasons due to shortcomings in the layout of impact points in the protected area, namely the presence of an extensive non-shootable area located on the borders of the Western, Chamlyk and Mostovsky anti-hail detachments. The article examines the issue of the economic feasibility of using mobile points of influence on hail processes in the Krasnodar anti-hail service to solve the problem of the non-shooting area between detachments located in the south-west of the protected area. The calculation method is described, according to which the maximum num-ber of mobile impact points was determined, which, from the point of view of profitability, it is advisable to deploy to solve this problem in the non-shootable area between anti-hail detachments. The article also evaluates the payback period of measures related to the deployment of a given number of mobile impact points, in the sense of exceeding the cost of prevented damage over the costs necessary to deploy a given number of mobile impact points.
