   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_radar

   Any ships or obstructions reflect microwaves back to the antenna, displaying on the radar screen. Marine radars are X band or S band radars on ships, used to detect other ships and land hazards, to provide bearing and distance for collision avoidance and navigation at sea. [1] They are electronic navigation instruments that use a rotating ...

   The frequency selection of weather radar is a performance compromise between precipitation reflectivity and attenuation due to atmospheric water vapor. Some weather radars uses doppler shift to measure wind speeds and dual-polarization for identification of types of precipitations. [3] [4] Weather radar; Wind profilers; Millimetre cloud radar ...

8. Automatic radar plotting aid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_radar_plotting_aid

   A marine radar with automatic radar plotting aid (ARPA) capability can create tracks using radar contacts. [1] The system can calculate the tracked object's course, speed and closest point of approach [2] (CPA), thereby knowing if there is a danger of collision with the other ship or landmass. Development of ARPA started after 1956, when the ...
