Abstract: Results of researches of correlation dependences between parameters of hail clouds at carrying out active influences on hail processes are considered. Modern methods of mathematical statistics, in particular (1), are used to estimate the coefficient of mutual correlation when exposed to single-cell, multi-cell and super-cell clouds. These calculations show the importance of studying the correlation between the parameters of hail clouds to assess the effectiveness of artificial impacts on clouds.

Keywords: correlation dependences, parameters of hail clouds, cloud seeding, mutual correlation coefficient, confidence interval, Fisher transform, Student distribution.
