Since then, weather radar has evolved on its own and is used by national weather services, research departments in universities, and in television stations' weather departments.

14 Facts About Weather radar
2.
Weather radar convinced the bureau staff to let him broadcast live from their office and asked a meteorologist to draw him a rough outline of the Gulf of Mexico on a transparent sheet of plastic.

4.
Between 1980 and 2000, weather radar networks became the norm in North America, Europe, Japan and other developed countries.

5.
Between each pulse, the Weather radar station serves as a receiver as it listens for return signals from particles in the air.

6.
Weather radar network uses a series of typical angles that will be set according to the needs.

7.
Until dual-polarization data are widely available, any precipitation types on Weather radar images are only indirect information and must be taken with care.

8.
All data from Weather radar scans are displayed according to the need of the users.

9.
CAPPIs call for a large number of angles from near the horizontal to near the vertical of the Weather radar to have a cut that is as close as possible at all distance to the height needed.

10.
The American National Weather radar Service is using such Composite as their scanning scheme can vary from 4 to 14 angles, according to their need, which would make very coarse CAPPIs.

11.
Extreme of this problem is when the inversion is very strong and shallow, the Weather radar beam reflects many times toward the ground as it has to follow a waveguide path.

12.
However, during the melting process, the Weather radar wave "sees" something akin to very large droplets as snow flakes become coated with water.

Aircraft application of radar systems include weather radar, collision avoidance, target tracking, ground proximity, and other systems.

14.
Unlike ground weather radar, which is set at a fixed angle, airborne weather radar is being utilized from the nose or wing of an aircraft.
