The doppler radar is a specialized radar which uses a microwave signal sent toward a specific target. Once the reflection is received, the objects motion and density can be calculated. This type of radar is extremely valuable to everyone around the world, without it, it would be hard to locate hurricanes, tornadoes, and other major storms. The Doppler radar photo above is a screen shot of Tallahassee, Fl on April 17, 2011. Currently, as you can see its clear, with no cloud coverage.
