What is Radar (Weather) Forecasting System?

• It is an essential technology in meteorology, used for detecting and predicting weather patterns by observing precipitation.
• It works on the principle of Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR), emitting electromagnetic pulses that reflect off precipitation particles, providing data on their location, intensity, and movement.
• How Weather Radar Works?
  • Emission and Reflection: The radar emits electromagnetic waves, which reflect upon encountering precipitation.
  • Data Analysis: By analyzing the return time and strength, the system determines the distance, type, and intensity of precipitation.
  • Advanced Technology: Modern dual-polarization radar transmits and receives both horizontally and vertically polarized waves, offering detailed insights into precipitation size, shape, and variety.
