There are several types of radar maps including those for search and rescue or air traffic control. Weather radar maps are comprised of a frequency selected to maximize precipitation (rain/snow) reflectivity while minimizing adverse effects.

While not normally noticeable on a city-scale weather radar plot, many artifacts can be present including birds and insects; chaff dropped by military aircraft; Solid obstacles such as mountains, buildings, and aircraft.

Why do synoptic weather maps show winter?

Synoptic weather maps often show winter weather patterns because this time of year is typically associated with specific meteorological conditions, such as cold fronts, low pressure systems, and precipitation. These patterns can have a significant impact on the weather and can be used to predict future conditions. The maps provide a visual representation of these weather patterns, which can be helpful for understanding and anticipating the weather.
