Radars Help Predict Local Weather
On the other hand, radars play a more localized role, providing real-time information on precipitation and severe weather phenomena such as thunderstorms and tornadoes. They use radio waves to detect the size, shape, and movement of precipitation particles, allowing meteorologists to track storms and issue timely warnings. Together, satellites and radars provide a comprehensive view of Earth’s weather patterns, enabling meteorologists to make accurate predictions and keep communities informed about potential oncoming hazards.
