advanced weather radar

Advanced weather radar uses high-frequency radio waves to detect and analyze precipitation, such as rain, snow, or hail. The radar emits pulses, and when these waves strike falling particles, they bounce back to the radar, providing data on location, intensity, and movement of weather systems. Modern systems incorporate Doppler technology, which measures the change in frequency of the returned signal to determine wind speed and direction within storms. This detailed information helps meteorologists track weather patterns more accurately, predict severe events, and improve safety and preparedness.
