About Emily Savory Expertise I can answer questions about the numerical models used in forecasting the weather but cannot provide an actual forecast. I can also answer questions about basic meteorological processes, for example, how clouds form and why El Nino occurs.
Experience I have an MSc in Weather, Climate and Modelling, which included studying modules in numerical modelling, atmospheric physics, tropical and extratropical weather systems.
Education/Credentials MSc Weather, Climate & Modelling from the University of Reading.
Question please tell me which of the following is true concerning the difference of doppler radar from conventional radar? of these 4 which one? I'll use a.b.c.d to make response easier, ok.
a- doppler measures wind speed/wind direction; conventional indicates the extent of cloud cover and the location of storms or
b-doppler indicates the extent of cloud cover & location of storms; conventional indicates precipitation or
c-doppler measures wind speed/wind direction; conventional indicates the extent of cloud cover & barometric pressure or
d-doppler measures barometric pressureeeee; conventional indicates precipitation?
thaNk you so much cause this has been hard to find, as to the following differ. indicate which alphabet.
Answer Hi,
Conventional radar measures precipitation whilst doppler radar uses the movement of rainfall to measure wind speed/directions. Therefore I'd say the answer is a. For more information about radar see http://www.ewradar.com/Basics.aspx
