Meteorological Radar

Meteorological radar is a system that uses radio waves to detect and track weather conditions, especially precipitation like rain, snow, or hail. It sends out radio signals that bounce off water droplets in the atmosphere. By analyzing the returned signals, meteorologists can determine the location, intensity, and movement of storms. This helps in forecasting weather patterns, issuing warnings for severe weather, and understanding atmospheric conditions in real time. Radar provides crucial data that improves weather prediction accuracy and enhances safety during storms.
