Doppler Radar

Doppler Radar is a tool that makes use of the doppler effect to track objects at a distance. The most common use of this technology is in the field of meteorology and specifically the tracking of storms such as hurricanes. Doppler radar allows us to pick up a hurricane's size, speed and other conditions sometimes days before it becomes a threat.
