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.

What are radar conspicuous?

On navigation charts, you may find a feature marked on the chart as 'Radar conspicuous'. This means that the feature will show up clearly on radar and be identified as that part on the chart.This not so obvious as it sounds. Land shows up on ship's radars, but due to reflections, absorption of radar signals and refraction, it can not always be certain to positively identify a coastline by it's shape.Having something that stands out, because of it's shape and radar reflection, is useful for navigation purposes.


What are the advantages of radar range over radar bearing?

Radar range is the distance of the object from the radar. Radar bearing is the direction of the object in relation to the radar. As radar is primarily used for ranging, the range information may be more important than the bearing.


Do the police have to show you the radar gun?

Each state has different rules governing radar. In Georgia, the officer must tell you that you a right to have him/her to re-check the radar for calibration but is does not state that he must allow you to see the test or the display with your speed on it. From a Georgia traffic lawyer: There is no law in Georgia that they must show you the laser/radar, however, there is some misinformation floating around where people believe there is. This is 100% not true, and if you go to court with this, the judge will not be impressed. The calibration law only applies to radars, which have been replaced with lasers in Georgia. However, under the calibration, the officer was required to calibrate the radar on request. Again, there was no requirement that they show you anything. If you made this demand, the officer would return to the patrol car, calibrate the laser, and then return to you and tell you it was calibrated. You'd still get your ticket.

How do you get radar you images?

An imaging radar works very like a flash camera in that it provides its own light to illuminate an area on the ground and take a snapshot picture, but at radio wavelengths. A flash camera sends out a pulse of light (the flash) and records on film the light that is reflected back at it through the camera lens. Instead of a camera lens and film, a radar uses an antenna and digital computer tapes to record its images. In a radar image, one can see only the light that was reflected back towards the radar antenna.


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.
