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 Doppler radar can be used to measure the intensity of precipitation?

forecaster might determined by the colour code


What does a dolpar radar measure in units?

Do you mean Doppler radar? If so, Doppler radar measures velocity. It's a specialized radar that makes use of the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance. It does this by beaming a microwave signal towards a desired target and listening for its reflection, then analyzing how the frequency of the returned signal has been altered by the object's motion. This variation gives direct and highly accurate measurements of the radial component of a target's velocity relative to the radar. Doppler radars are used in aviation, sounding satellites, meteorology, police speed guns, and radiology. The specific term "Doppler Radar", due in part to its extremely common use by television meteorologists in on-air weather reporting, has erroneously become popularly synonymous with the type of radar used in meteorology. Most modern weather radars use the pulse-Doppler technique to examine the motion of precipitation, but it is only a part of the processing of their data. So, while these radars use a highly specialized form of Doppler radar, the term is much broader in its meaning and its applications.


What instrument is used to track thunderstorms and tornadoes?

satellites


Why is Doppler radar important?

Ship use radar for navigation and collision avoidance. The radar set on most board are equip with what is called the ARPA set which are a set of navigation aid that allow ranges baring and content baring to be examined. (when a constant bearing exist am risk of collision exists. Marine radar also allows the establishment of radar tracks to track boat, buoy and land masses. Some radar systems as also equipped transponder modes that work be transmitting on one frequency and listening on another, system such as this are used for Raycon Boys and search and rescue beacons. Marine radar fall into three classes S band 3GHz long range and low weather susceptible, X Band 9.375GHz closer range and can also see rain squalls etc and FMCW wideband radar witch is used for close range low power and port and marine navigation.

Who discovered the Doppler effect?

Christian Doppler did not invent Doppler Radar. He described what is now known as the Doppler effect in 1842 in Austria. It is used to describe the behavior of waves (such as light or sound) that are emitted by a moving object. Doppler radar, which utilizes the Doppler effect, was developed in the United States during World War II.
