Weather Things: Radar

The video tutorial explains how meteorologists use radar technology to detect and analyze weather patterns. It covers the basics of radar, including its function, limitations, and the interpretation of radar signals. The tutorial also delves into Doppler radar's role in detecting tornadoes and introduces dual polarization radar for better precipitation analysis.
