Atmospheric science and Meteorology.

Weather radars are used to monitor precipitation rates (how heavy rainfall is etc) as well as track storm courses and speed, and estimate their exact type. Weather satellites using infra-red cameras are also able to track large scale storm systems due to the thermal (temperature differences) between the eye of a storm (tropical cyclone) and the colder surrounding cloud tops, whereby the larger the difference, the more intense the storm.
