  2. Doppler radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radar

    A Doppler radar is a specialized radar that uses the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance. [1] It does this by bouncing a microwave signal off a desired target and analyzing how the object's motion has altered the frequency of the returned signal.

  3. Doppler on Wheels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_on_Wheels

    Doppler on Wheels (or DOW) is a fleet of X-band and C-band mobile and quickly-deployable truck-borne radars which are the core instrumentation of the Flexible Array of Radars and Mesonets [1] affiliated with the University of Alabama Huntsville [2] and led by Joshua Wurman, with the funding partially provided by the National Science Foundation ...

  4. Mobile radar observation of tornadoes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_radar_observation...

    Mobile doppler weather radars have been used on dozens of scientific and academic research projects from their invention in the late 1900s. [1] One problems facing meteorological researchers was the fact that mesonets and other ground-based observation methods were being deployed too slow in order to accurately measure and study high-impact atmospheric phenomena. [1]
