Doppler Radar


Doppler radar is a type of radar that is able to determine velocity data about object at a distance. It shoots a microwave signal at an object (like a storm) and measures how the signal comes back, and therefore can determine how the object's motion affected the signal. This is a picture of the doppler radar for Hurricane Frances from September 2004.
