Doppler Radar

Source: http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/southeast.php

Doppler radar uses a transmitter to emit microwave radiation, and a directional antenna to receive and measure the arrival of the emitted pulses as they reflect back from objects. This type of radar is use to make atmospheric profiles of clouds, and can measure motion, make-up and rainfall. This image is a National Weather Service Mosaic radar of the Southeaster Sector.
