Is radar real time weather forecasting?


Search for more about radar.


Well, yes and no. With a radar real time weather information shows up on the screen, such as a NOAA weather radar display or this Canadian example.

Radar Real Time Weather


But it is not forecast information. It is a way of taking a weather observation. Very recent weather,
which we can use to make very short-term forecasts and emergency broadcasts.

The data goes from radar to Computer weather stations. With the correct software, we can get an animated radar weather forecasters, broadcasters and technicians use to provide the live weather radar component of a TV weather report.

Here, we examine some of the science and technology behind the radar US weather professionals and Canadian meteorologists work with. Since radar is an evolving technology, relevant information can become obsolete from time to time.

Clever Acronyms

Instead of saying RAdio Detection And Ranging every time, we shorten it to RADAR. It has become a powerful forcast tool.

Looking for radar real time weather opportunities? You know about this stuff and would like to earn money on the
internet with that knowledge? Like I did.

If you want to be found on the public's radar, create your own business. See how I made this web site with my specialized knowledge.

The Radar is our weather eyes. We know we see most objects by observing the light they reflect. A radar receiver observes objects in the same way.

For instance, air traffic equipment: this radar sees aircraft, while weather radar views storms in reflected microwave pulses, the long wavelength light energy it sends.

This is how direction finding became the first principle of radar real time weather. As a bonus, it can detect the amount of time for the echo to return and use the radar range equation to calculate the distance to the target.

As another bonus, some types of radar detect whether the object moving towards or away from the radar.

What does it see?

Targets include fixed objects, vehicles, storms and sharp changes in meteorological conditions resulting in anomalous propagation, like that described on this US National Radar Weather page, and other errors.

These weather radar real time images provide information often not obtained any other way. They show how fast precipitation is falling and where.

To relate precipitation rates to radar power reflected, try this page, and go here to read how Doppler radar equipment works.
