Doppler radar systems
Doppler radar systems are technology used to measure the speed and movement of objects, like storms or vehicles, by bouncing radio waves off them. When these waves hit a moving object, they change frequency, a phenomenon known as the Doppler effect. By analyzing these frequency changes, the radar can determine how fast the object is moving and in which direction. This system is widely used in weather forecasting to monitor storm patterns, as well as in law enforcement to measure vehicle speeds, providing crucial information in various fields from meteorology to aviation safety.
