How does a radar track a storm?
the newest Doppler radar can indicate the precise localitation, movement and extent of a storm.it can also indicate the intensity of precipitation and wind patterns within a storm
How does Doppler radar detect tornadic winds?
Meteorologists use radar to monitor precipitation; it has become the primary tool for short-term weather forecasting and is also used to watch for severe weather such as thunderstorms and tornados.
How is radar used to predict measure weather?
Weather radar devices electronically convert the reflected radio waves into picture that show the location and intensity of precipitation and the speed of the wind.
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.
Is Doppler radar used for finding hurricanes?
Yes, Doppler Radar can be used to find all storms!
How does a radar track a storm?

What is an important use of a Doppler radar?
The track precipitation and tornadoes
How does radar measure the winds and precipitation inside a storm?
The radar measures the winds and precipitation inside a storm by using Doppler radar to make images of a storm.It's also used to make predictions of the later weather changes.
What is a type of radio transmission that tracks precipitation called?
Doppler radar
What is the name of the instrument used to measure the intensity of a tornado?
In most cases the intensity of a tornado is never actually measured. Tornadoes are rated based on the severity of the damage they cause. Mobile Doppler radar can measure wind speeds in a tornado, but since such radar cannot measure ground-level winds the measurements are not used in ratings.
What is the radar measure echo of moving clouds?
doppler
What instrument measures intensity of precipitation?
You either use a rain gauge and measure at different time intervals, or use radar.
What device do police use to measure speed?
Doppler radar
How is reflectivity measured with radar?
Used to estimate precipitation intensity and rainfall rates
How does Doppler radar detect tornadic winds?
Meteorologists use radar to monitor precipitation; it has become the primary tool for short-term weather forecasting and is also used to watch for severe weather such as thunderstorms and tornados.
Name of the instrument used for measuring intensity of tornado?
There is no particular instrument used for measuring tornado intensity. Ratings are based primarily on damage assessment. Occasionally doppler radar has measure wind speeds inside a tornado, but such measurements are rare.
How is radar used to predict measure weather?
Weather radar devices electronically convert the reflected radio waves into picture that show the location and intensity of precipitation and the speed of the wind.
