Because weather can influence our lives so greatly, it has become necessary
to make attempts to accurately predict it. During the last century
weather prediction grew from little more than an art into a well-recognized
discipline within the now-robust science of meteorology. The quality of
weather prediction has improved dramatically over the last 30 years.
Numerical models, satellite imagery, doppler radar and other
state-of-the-art technologies have revolutionized the field of meteorology.
Weather radar is one of the key tools in use for weather forecasting and
climatology studies today. Doppler radar (a.k.a. NEXRAD or WSR-88D) has
become the de facto standard for weather radar in the U.S. Thanks to modern
computer imaging, radar weather information can be displayed in an unlimited array
of formats, but radar maps, sometimes superimposed with other information such as
satellite cloud images or weather watches and warnings, provide the easiest
method of visualization.
