A principally new criterion that takes into account a probabilistic nature of introduction of an agent into a seeding layer was used when estimating the physical efficiency of active modification. The results of the analysis of intense hailstorm modification show that the criterion adequately determines the modification success, which is confirmed by the time variation of convection cell parameters.
