Doppler Radar




The Doppler radar can provide information regarding the movement of targets as well as their position. They do this by transmuting a pulse of radio waves, and tracking their shift in phase. Images such as the one shown above are used daily by meteorologists on the news, and they provide a great image for all the viewers to take in. This example is a Doppler image of Hurricane Frances just as it made landfall in 2004.
