The function of a precipitation radar (snow or rain radar) is always the same. With the help of a radar station, microwaves are sent into the clouds. These radar beams are sent back to the radar station by the water droplets in the cloud. The more radar waves hit back to the measuring station, the more precipitation is available in the cloud. Depen...
Why is snow white?
The white color of snow depends on the particular shape of the snowflake. Under the microscope, snowflakes appear to be transparent. However, when sunlight falls on the snowflakes, this light is refracted several times by the special shape of the flake and reflected through the trapped air in the snowflake. Therefore, the snowflake appears white to the human eye.
Why does snow glitter?
The glitter in snow can also be traced back to the reflection of light by the ice crystals. The uppermost layer of the snow cover, with its countless snowflakes, reflects the light to our eyes directly and without further refraction. For this reason, we see different spots flashing in the snow as we move through the multitude of ice crystals.
Why are snowflakes hexagonal?
The shape of snow is related to the special structure of a water molecule: Due to the electrical charge of the single atoms, these molecules can only arrange themselves in a hexagon or at an angle of 60 degrees or 120 degrees. This hexagonal shape allows the water molecules to form as a crystal very efficiently.
