From NOAA website:http://weather.noaa.gov/radar/radinfo/radinfo.htmlBase ReflectivityThis is a display of echo intensity (reflectivity) measured in dBZ (decibels of Z, where Z represents the energy reflected back to the radar). "Reflectivity" is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. Base Reflectivity images are available at several different elevation angles (tilts) of the antenna and are used to detect precipitation, evaluate storm structure, locate atmospheric boundaries and determine hail potential.
The base reflectivity image currently available on this website is from the lowest "tilt" angle (0.5°). This means the radar's antenna is tilted 0.5° above the horizon.
The maximum range of the "short range" (S Rng) base reflectivity product is 124 nm (about 143 miles) from the radar location. This view will not display echoes that are more distant than 124 nm, even though precipitation may be occurring at greater distances. To determine if precipitation is occurring at greater distances, select the "long range" (L Rng) view (out to 248 nm/286 mi), select an adjacent radar, or link to the National Reflectivity Mosaic.Composite ReflectivityThis display is of maximum echo intensity (reflectivity) from any elevation angle at every range from the radar. This product is used to reveal the highest reflectivity in all echoes. When compared with Base Reflectivity, the Composite Reflectivity can reveal important storm structure features and intensity trends of storms.
The maximum range of the "long range" (L Rng) composite reflectivity product is 248 nm (about 286 miles) from the radar location. The "blocky" appearance of this product is due to its lower spatial resolution on a 2.2 * 2.2 nm grid. It has one-fourth the resolution of the Base Reflectivity and one-half the resolution of the Precipitation products.
Although the Composite Reflectivity product is able to display maximum echo intensities 248 nm from the radar, the beam of the radar at this distance is at a very high altitude in the atmosphere. Thus, only the most intense convective storms and tropical systems will be detected at the longer distances.
Because of this fact, special care must be taken interpreting this product. While the radar image may not indicate precipitation it's quite possible that the radar beam is overshooting precipitation at lower levels, especially at greater distances. To determine if precipitation is occurring at greater distances link to an adjacent radar or link to the National Reflectivity Mosaic.
For a higher resolution (1.1 * 1.1 nm grid) composite reflectivity image, select the short range (S Rng) view. The image is less "blocky" as compared to the long range image. However, the maximum range is reduced to 124 nm (about 143 miles) from the radar location.
they have the difference or hot or cold weather and the storms they can be bad or not so bad
Reflectivity measures the amount of radar energy that is reflected back to the radar from precipitation particles, such as raindrops or snowflakes. By analyzing reflectivity data, meteorologists can identify the intensity, type, and spatial distribution of precipitation, helping them predict storm severity and rainfall amounts. This information is crucial for creating accurate weather maps and forecasts, allowing for timely warnings and better understanding of atmospheric conditions.
The difference in temperature between a warm tube misfire and a warm tube misfire in hot weather is the temperature that resulted in the hot weather .
The difference is that climate is weather that's happening over a long period of time. Weather happens like it's happening right now or it happens one day or another, weather isn't like one year or more.
The primary difference between weather and climate is timescale. Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions over a short period of time, while climate refers to average weather patterns over a longer period (typically 30 years or more).

Nothing... 'The Weather Channel' - is the title of the company... weather.com is their website name.
weather is precipitation rain, hail, snow, ice,e.g. weathering is the wearing away of rock
Doppler radial velocity, rather than the usual base reflectivity scans.
An ecosystem would not be what it is without its climate and weather - think of the difference between a desert and a mountain region.
Japn's wether is cooler then Australia. Because Australia weather is very hott in the summer!

the difference between weathering & erosion is quite simple weathering breaks down and erosion carries it away like a blow dryer
