2~~~~~~~~~ Abstract -Oneofthetasks oftheHellenic HailSuppression Programisthedetermination oftheobserved Convective Day Category (CDC)Index. This process isaccomplished byhaving themeteorologists analyze theoperational datamanually. To automate andspeed upthis procedure wehavedeveloped an application intheCLIPSExpert Systemenvironment that calculates theobserved CDC index.
