Doppler Weather Radar

NSSL's first research Doppler Weather Radar. Radar dish in the foreground. Triangular panels of protective fiberglass radar dome in the background. A Doppler radar is a specialized radar that makes use of the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance. It does this by beaming a microwave signal towards a desired target and listening for its reflection, then analyzing how the frequency of the returned signal has been altered by the object's motion. This variation gives direct and highly accurate measurements of the radial component of a target's velocity relative to the radar.
