Doppler Radar

Doppler radar images are beneficial to meteorologists for use in predicting weather patterns and explaining atmospheric phenomenon. This map is a series of Doppler radar images of Hurricane Katrina as it passes closest to Baton Rogue back in August of 2005. Doppler radar works by sending out bursts of radio waves and then recording the radio waves that are reflected back.
