Local Weather Radars
by
Max Bellamy
The National Weather Service has a series of local weather radars that help predict the weather. Radar is a device that sends a signal out to a "target." In the case of weather radar, the target is a patch of precipitation. The signal is then returned and collected by antenna. Once the data is collected, it is interpreted to gain an understanding of weather conditions.

There is science behind predicting the weather. When we hear a weather report, there is actually a process behind it. Weather radars are essential to meteorology and the art of predicting the weather. Some use microwave signals and still others use the Doppler Effect.

Weather Radar Maps As Forecasting Instruments For the Amateur Weather Buff
by
Gary Vaughn
Unless you are a multimillionaire who has an extreme interest in weather or a major breakthrough in radar technology occurs that would significantly reduce the cost of radar instrumentation, chances are you will never actually own a radar instrument. That's ok though, because there's no need for you to own one as long as you have a working computer and a communication link.

Frame grabbers capture the output VGA signal from the weather radar receiver and provide integration between live weather radars and computers. They transfer VGA signal from the radar imaging equipment to the computing center.

Advancement in Local Weather Radar Reports
by
Mike Ramidden
Throughout history, many lives have been lost at the hands of severe weather. Meteorologists and scientists alike are always investigating new ways to increase the warning time for these storms, with the hope of reducing the loss of life. In the past few decades, local weather radar advancements have been made, which allow for better accuracy in predicting the paths of these storms, thus allowing meteorologists to issue severe weather reports and warnings earlier than in previous years.

The Doppler Weather Radar Has Evolved
by
Mike Ramidden
The first Doppler weather radar was commissioned in 1964 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA. When scientists experimented with tornadoes, they quickly realized the 3-cm Doppler was not big or powerful enough to receive and track all of the needed information. They realized this one radar would need improvements.

National Weather Service Radars
by
Max Bellamy
The National Weather Service is responsible for keeping track of the weather patterns, trends and current conditions in the United States. To do so, there is a large network of National Weather Service radars that help gather this information. From the radar images, data is interpreted and updated constantly to keep all information current.
