Above is a Doppler Radar observation provided by the National Weather Service. This image is that of the state of FL in infrared visibility. This type of radar is used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, estimate its type (rain, snow, hail, etc.), and forecast its future position and intensity. Modern weather radars are mostly Doppler radars, capable of detecting the motion of rain droplets in addition to intensity of the precipitation.
