Doppler Radar Technology

Doppler radar technology uses radio waves to detect objects and measure their movement. It sends out a radio signal that bounces off targets like rain droplets, aircraft, or weather formations. When the waves return, the radar analyzes the change in frequency (Doppler shift) to determine the speed and direction of movement. This allows meteorologists to track weather patterns, such as storms and rain, and detect wind speeds. The system provides real-time data crucial for weather forecasting, aviation safety, and military applications, effectively enabling us to understand and predict dynamic activities in the environment.
