2. Doppler radar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radar

   A Doppler radar is a specialized radar that uses the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance. [1] It does this by bouncing a microwave signal off a desired target and analyzing how the object's motion has altered the frequency of the returned signal.

3. Weather radar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_radar

   Weather radar, also called weather surveillance radar ( WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, and estimate its type (rain, snow, hail etc.). Modern weather radars are mostly pulse-Doppler radars, capable of detecting the motion of rain droplets in addition to the intensity of the ...

4. NEXRAD - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEXRAD

   NEXRAD or Nexrad (Next-Generation Radar) is a network of 159 high-resolution S-band Doppler weather radars operated by the National Weather Service (NWS), an agency of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) within the United States Department of Commerce, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) within the Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Air Force within the ...

   Tune into any TV weather report and you’ll hear the words “Doppler radar.” What is it?

6. Pulse-Doppler radar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-Doppler_radar

   A pulse-Doppler radar is a radar system that determines the range to a target using pulse-timing techniques, and uses the Doppler effect of the returned signal to determine the target object's velocity. It combines the features of pulse radars and continuous-wave radars, which were formerly separate due to the complexity of the electronics .

7. NSSL Doppler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSSL_Doppler

   9.1 m. Azimuth. 360º. Elevation. 0°- 90°. Power. 500 kW. NOAA's 10 cm Doppler Weather Radar was a 10 cm wavelength S-band Doppler Weather Radar commonly referred to as NSSL Doppler, and was used to track severe weather and related meteorological phenomena. The radar became operational soon after its donation, collecting its first data in May ...

8. Radar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar

   Radar is a system that uses radio waves to determine the distance (), direction (azimuth and elevation angles), and radial velocity of objects relative to the site. It is a radiodetermination method used to detect and track aircraft, ships, spacecraft, guided missiles, motor vehicles, map weather formations, and terrain.

9. National Severe Storms Laboratory - Wikipedia

   In 1962 a research team from the United States Weather Bureau's National Severe Storms Project (NSSP) moved from Kansas City, Missouri to Norman, Oklahoma, where, in 1956, the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory had installed a 3 cm continuous-wave Doppler Weather Surveillance Radar-1957 . This radar was designed to detect very high wind speeds in ...
