Doppler Radar

Doppler Radar
A doppler radar is one of the most well known systems that a meteorologist uses; it is a radar that gives a doppler effect by producing velocity data about objects at a distance. It sends microwaves towards a desired object and listens to the reflection, while analyzing the frequency of the signal returned and the objects motion. This is an example of a doppler radar image showing various weather conditions that are approaching Florida.
