What radar is a New generation of weather radar that is capable of detecting motion directly?
Doppler Radar
What are two tools that meteorologists use to predict the weather?
Weather balloons and Doppler Radar.
Is Doppler radar used for finding hurricanes?
Yes, Doppler Radar can be used to find all storms!
Why do farmers rely on the weather report?
It uses information based on the Doppler RADAR (invented and designed by Andrew Doppler) to predict weather so farmers will know when the best time to plant their cops would be.
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 is the Doppler radar used in?
Weather and warfare.
Which of the following would be most useful for determining the presence of a tornado?
Doppler radar!!! this is the choice right? weather satellight barometer weather balloon Doppler radar
What radar is a New generation of weather radar that is capable of detecting motion directly?
Doppler Radar
What is Doppler radar and how is it used in weather prediction and forecasting?
A Doppler radar is a radar using the Doppler effect of the returned echoes from targets to measure their radial velocity. To be more specific the microwave signal sent by the radar antenna's directional beam is reflected toward the radar and compared in frequency, up or down from the original signal, allowing for the direct and highly accurate measurement of target velocity component in the direction of the beam.Recent weather radars process velocities of precipitations by Pulse-Doppler radar technique, on top of their intensities. This is a slightly different treatment of Doppler data that has been publicized so much in the United States that the term Doppler radar is often wrongly used by the public to mean weather radar.For more info see:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radar
What are two tools that meteorologists use to predict the weather?
Weather balloons and Doppler Radar.
What tool shows weather change?
Doppler Radar, Thermometer, Barometer
How do tornadoes get monitored?
Doppler weather radar is used to monitor tornadoes.
Is the Doppler radar the only satellite radar in the world?
Actually the Doppler Radar aka nexrad Next generation radar is not a satellite it is a radar. Satellites are floating around the world in space and Doppler radars are here on earth to monitor weather. As far as I know the Doppler radar is the only weather radar in the world. It is basically the only thing used for monitoring weather. I the above is not quite correct. Weather radars come in two basic types coherent and non-coherent. The Coherent radar come in Doppler Radar which can be FMCW or Active Pulse Doppler. The non coherent Pulse Radar merely aim high energy pulses at the clouds and display the returned power in a colour display. The coherent version integrates many pulses together to gain a Higher signal to Noise and to detect water drops moving in clouds. That aside, to answer the question which has nothing to do with weather radar, Doppler radar is frequency used in space verticals because its coherent processing gains in achieves help to offset the ranges it operates over, but it is not the only radar technique to be used on satellites and it depends on what the radar is trying achieve. Note that Doppler radar is non a synonymous exclusively of "nexrad Next generation radar".
How much does a weather Doppler radar cost?
2 million US$ - estimate
Where is the Doppler radar used?
Doppler radars are used in weather stations and for forecasting,predicting tornadoes,and hurricanes.
What type of scientis twould use a Doppler radar and why?
The Doppler radar used in weather forecasting measures the direction and speed, or velocity, of objects such as drops of precipitation. This is called the Doppler Effect and is used to determine whether movement in the atmosphere is horizontally toward or away from the radar, which aides in weather forecasting. The radar was named for J. Christian Doppler, an Austrian physicist, who was the first to articulate the reason an approaching train's whistle will sound higher than the whistle as the train moves away.
What are the things that reporter of weather use to find out weather?
Doppler radar, thermometer, barometer list goes on and on there has to be some website about this.
