Doppler Radar




Doppler radar tracks the motion of clouds by pulsing atmosphere with microwave radiation and then measuring the attenuation in the return pulse to calculate the cloud’s reflectivity and velocity. Here is a reflectivity image from the Doppler radar in Frederick, Oklahoma. The colors represent the strength of returned energy to the radar, it is expressed in decibels.
