TeachMeFinance.com - explain Wet Bulb Zero Wet Bulb Zero The term 'Wet Bulb Zero' as it applies to the area of the weather can be defined as ' (Abbrev. WBZ) - the height where the wet-bulb temperature goes below 0°C. It is important because WBZ heights between 7000 ft and 10,500 ft (above ground level) correlate well with large hail at the surface when storms develop in an airmass primed for strong convection. Higher values infer mid and upper level stability and also indicate a large melting area for falling hail. Lower WBZ heights indicate that the low level atmosphere is often too cool and stable to support large hail'.
