Doppler Radar



A Doppler Radar is a key forecasting tool for the weather. They provide data about objects at a distance by beaming signals toward the target and analyzing the reflection they receive back, compared to the original signal. This doppler radar image above is of hurricane charlie and its location, showing the bands of weather expected in relation to its estimated location. These maps are very important for tracking dangerous hurricanes and storms.
