Doppler Radar

Doppler Radar is used everyday to help display the location of severe weather and rain. Doppler Radar sends out waves and then measures the time and intensity they are reflected. This image shows a well organized tropical storm or hurricane. The green areas show moderate rain while the red and yellow show more severe weather. Doppler radar is a key tool in saving lives threatened by severe weather.
