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.
Which would indicate foul weather might be approaching?
The winds will pick up, the sky will darken and the waves will get choppy. It is best to head in when this is occurring.
Are stream water fresh water or salt water?
first of all, the proper grammer isIs stream water fresh water or salt water? now to answer your question;streams come from rivers, that come from mountainsthe mountains snow melts to fill the riverssnow is made in clouds, clouds get their water from the oceanthe ocean is salt water, but the clouds cant pick up saltso it is fresh water
Can radiation be harmful?
No. It doesn't work by sending out any signals, but only by looking at what is coming at it. Think of it as a transistor radio. If there's a signal on a frequency that you're tuned to, you'll hear that signal. If there's nothing, you hear nothing. And all the while the radio is "just listening" to the air waves - just like the radar detector is "just listening" for any strong signals in the radar bands it is designed to cover. Most smart officers set up in a spot where they can't really be seen until you're right on top of them. And once they see you back up the road and "paint" you with the gun, it's usually too late. Certainly if they paint someone ahead of you, you'll get a warning, but if you're the marked vehicle, you're probably toast. They've got you before you can react to your warning. And officers "pick" their targets knowing that folks behind the target vehicle may have detectors. They don't "shoot blindly" down the road and "warn" other drivers they are there. Is a radar detector harmful? Only in that it provides a relatively false sense of security that you can detect a signal and slow down before you are targeted. That will indirectly encourage you to drive more boldly - drive faster. And that can put you and others at risk.
Describe the steps involved in installing a cable?
In general in new houses, "jacks" will be pre-installed. The engineer will run a cable from the jack to the tv. The television then has to be programmed and auto-tuned to pick up the signals.

What do radar signals pick up?
land vehicles, and air machines such as cars, planes etc.
Will the uniden 800 pick up police signals from 2 miles away?
The Uniden 800 radar detector should be able to pick up a police signal from 2 miles away, but there is never a guarantee. It also depends on the type of radar used by the police.
Why are clouds that form over water more efficient in producing precipitation rain than clouds that form over land?
Rainclouds form from water picked up from the earth's surface. If the clouds are over water, they obviously will pick up more moisture, and pick it up a lot easier, too.
What does radar images show?
Radar displays show where precipitation is they also show the winds within thunderstorms which help them see rotation in a thunderstorm to pick out where a tornado is possibly forming.
How do we locate typhoon?
Conventionally we pick it up via radar
What is the smallest object radar can pick up?
The smallest object most radar can pickup is a bird. Radar used by air traffic control and civilians is less accurate than that of the military.
Can a Uniden 800 pick up all kinds of different signals from miles away?
They can definitely pick up all types of signals. One form of the uniden 800 was used at a sheriffs office and could pick up different signals all the way from 40-50 miles away.
Did radar help the British Royal Air Force detect airplanes form bombing England?
Yes, radar helped to pick up German aircraft after about 1940.
Is there a way I can get my satellite dish to pick up other signals?
You can make your satellite to pick up other signals by aligning the dish properly (elevation and azimuth alignment) taking into consideration the skew angle.
At what time did radar stations in Oahu first pick up on the enemy airplanes?
7:02 am
