Doppler Radar

Doppler Radar utilizes the doppler effect to produce images of storms by beaming microwaves towards them and calculating the amount of reflection that it receives back. Doppler radar readings are very accurate and are very common to most people. This doppler image shows the landfall of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. This map is also planimetric and chloropleth.
