It can be used to track all forms of weather, but it is particularly good for tracking tornadoes.
Like previous forms of weather radar, Doppler radar sends out microwaves which reflect off particles in the air such as raindrops, snowflakes, and hailstones. How strong the signal is can tell how heavy it is raining or snowing, or if there is significant hail. Unlike other weather radar, however, Doppler radar can also measure how fast those particles are moving toward or away from the radar. This is especially useful for tracking rotation in a thunderstorm that indicates that a tornado may soon occur or may already by ocurring. Recent upgrades to our system of Doppler radars now allow them to differentiate between rain, hail, snow, and airborne debris from tornadoes.
The track precipitation and tornadoes
Scientists track tornadoes using Doppler radar and reports from eyewitnesses.
Meteorologists track tornadoes using Doppler radar, which can detect rotation in a storm, and reports from eyewitnesses.
Doppler radars are used in weather stations and for forecasting,predicting tornadoes,and hurricanes.
Yes. Meteorologists track tornadoes via doppler radar and reports from storm spotters.
Meteorologists use doppler radar as well as eyewitness reports from storm spotters and law enforcement to track tornadoes
Tornadoes are tracked using Doppler radar and reports from storm spotters and other eyewitnesses.
satellites
The main piece of technology used to track tornadoes is doppler weather radar, which can detect the wind signature of a developing tornado.
Today, we track tornadoes using a combination of eyewitness reports and Doppler radar.
a Doppler rader tracks a tornado and will tell the wearther people if it's coming
Usually Doppler radar, meteorologists, and trained storm spotters and chasers are used to track, measure, and record tornadoes.
