Doppler Radar

Doppler radars are used a lot for weather measurements. Doppler radar maps show a shift in frequency in the waves produced by something moving.

This specific dopple radar map shows a hurricane on the move. The closer to the center of the green mass, the more rainfall there will be in that area. These maps are usually shown with many images following each other, and you can see the actual hurricane moving.
