   radar systems often gain a lot more information from the echo signal of a target, but the calculation of distance and speed based on a runtime and Doppler measurement are the most important characteristics of radar systems.

   Air traffic control uses radar to track planes both on the ground and in the air, and also to guide planes in for smooth landings. Police use radar to detect the speed of passing motorists. NASA uses radar to map the Earth and other planets, to track satellites and space debris and to help with things like docking and maneuvering.

   How are radars maintained?

   • Radars are usually maintained by field service engineers, who will spend some of their time working at a field service centre, as well as visiting Met Ofice HQ. Field service centres are workshops where all sorts of weather observing equipment can be built, fixed and maintained.

   Why is radar important?

   • Radar is an operational instrument in many countries. It offers the forecasters what is generally the best opportunity to detect rapidly developing storms, and the last one to evaluate whether the weather evolves as expected or not. Also, the twenty-rst-century researcher has a different focus: while efforts

   What can be seen on radar?

   • Things like tall buildings (especially if the radar site is near a large city or in a valley), cars on a high-traffic road, TV/Radio towers, and wind farms can be seen on radar if the conditions are right. The way to identify ground clutter is by the movement and intensity of the echoes on radar.

   What is radar meteorology?

   • Radar meteorology is an odd specialty in atmospheric science. As opposed to synoptic meteorology or cloud physics, its focus has been on the instrument from the start. Radar enabled us to observe and understand many previously unknown phenomena.

   What is radar used for?

   • Radar is a key instrument used in meteorology for monitoring wind and precipitation, and has become the primary tool used for short-term weather forecasting. This practical text-book introduces the fundamental concepts behind radar measurements and their meteor-ological interpretation.
