What plant are known only through satellite radar mapping?
weed
What planet's terrain was mapped by space probes using radar?
Magellan, a JPL-led project, used synthetic aperture radar to map Venus. Martin Marietta in Denver built the spacecraft, Hughes in El Segundo built the radar.
What weather devices can detect the threat of a tornado?
The main tool is Doppler radar, which can remotely measure wind speed and direction. This can be used to find rotation in a storm associate with a possible tornado. Another, recently developed tool is dual-polarized radar. Unlike conventional radar, this radar can distinguish between rain, hail, and tornadic debris.
What are the limitations of radar maps?
ground clutter and evaporation are the limitations of radar maps
Can radar pass through the earth's atmosphere?
yes
Which thickly clouded planet has radar mapping revealed a varied topography consisting of plains highlands and thousands of volcanic structures?
Venus
What thickly clouded planet has radar mapping revealed a varied topography consisting of plains highlands and thousands of volcanic structures?
Venus.
On which thickly clouded planed has radar mapping revealed a varied topography consisting o plainshighlands and thousands of volcanic struchures?
Venus
The planet closest to the sun to have satellite?
Venus has two artificial satellites orbiting it, radar-mapping the surface and gathering other useful information about its surface.
What plant are known only through satellite radar mapping?
weed
Why is radar useful when mapping areas that tend to be covered in clouds?
because a radar is stronger than a map a map can't get you through coulds it can only get you to a place
Who invented radar devices for mapping the sea floor?
sonar devices map the sea floor, radar just boils water unless the signal is balanced ungodly.
What is the surfaces features of the venus?
As best as we can tell its mountains and rifts, all mapping has been done by radar.
Why was the planet venus imaged using radar?
The planet Venus was imaged using radar because its thick atmosphere makes it difficult to observe the surface using optical telescopes. Radar can penetrate the clouds and provide detailed images of the planet's surface features. Additionally, radar can also measure the surface elevation and map the topography of Venus.
Which cloud shrouded planet did the Magellan spacecraft map with radar?
venus
What has the author David S Simonett written?
David S. Simonett has written: 'The utility of radar and other remote sensors in thematic land use mapping from spacecraft' -- subject(s): Aerial photography in geography, Remote sensing systems, Radar in surveying
What do ships use to not hit the coast?
They use some type of radio detection and mapping AKA Radar. They could also use a good old fashioned Lighthouse.
