What is the frequency band for airborne weather radar?
Depends on the radar. Often C-Band is used (4-8GHz). This frequency is good since rain is quite reflective for it, and it doesn't attenuate as much as the higher X or K band frequencies.
What type of map shows how much rain falls in an area?
precipitation map
A continuous record of rainfall is measured by which instrument?
A continuous record of rainfall is measured by a rain gauge. Although it is impossible to measure all the rainfall in a specific area, a rain gauge can give meteorologists a good idea of how much rain has fallen in an area.
How much vinegar do you need to make acid rain?
a lot, well it depends on the area but a lot
What weather data can be observed with radar?
A Doppler radar is used for "seeing" precipitation and how heavy it is. It can also see the direction the precipitation is moving and the winds inside the rain clouds or thunderstorms and can pick out the rotation which can lead to a tornado.
How do you use the word radar in a sentence?
"The radar was filled with green showing all of the rain that was coming."
How are floods getting worse?
to much rain
An area of dense trees and plants with rain much of the year?
rain forest
Does a radar gun work in the rain?
I would assume so. Radar is just another form of electromagnetic radiation, just like light. I would infer that if you can see through the rain (that's light), then other forms of electromagnetic radiation (such as radar) can also pass through the rain. Of Course, I would also assume that the range and effectiveness of the radar gun would be reduced at least a small bit. As long as the radar is functional normal rain water will not have any effect on it working to detect speed.
An example of an indirect weather observation system is?
An example of an indirect weather observation system is a weather radar. Radar uses radio waves to detect precipitation, such as rain, snow, or hail, in the atmosphere. By measuring the intensity and movement of these precipitation particles, meteorologists can infer information about the weather conditions in a specific area.
How much rain must fall a year for an area to be considered a rain forest?
5 inches

What are the release dates for Desperate Landscapes - 2007 Rain Rakes and Radar 5-1?
Desperate Landscapes - 2007 Rain Rakes and Radar 5-1 was released on: USA: 9 July 2009
How much rain did maidu the tribes area get?
Hardly any
What is a weather radar?
A weather radar is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, estimate its type (rain, snow, hail, etc.), and forecast its future position and intensity.

How much rain must an area received in a year to be considered a rainforest?
For an area to be considered a rainforest, it must receive over 80 inches of rain.
