Doppler Radar

Doppler radar is radar that uses the doppler effect to produce data about objects at a distance.  They are used in air defense, air traffic control, sounding satellites, police speed guns and radiology.  Doppler radar uses a well-known effect of light called the Doppler shift.  The above map depicts a hurricane along the Florida Coastline.
