Doppler radar sends microwaves into the atmosphere that bounce back off clouds and create an image that can be mapped and broadcasted. The frequency of these returned waves can tell areas of higest precipitation and even the untrained eye can tell the heaviest part of this Hurricane, Andrew, is located near the eye of the storm. This image was taken off the FSU meterology website. http://www.met.fsu.edu/explores/CurrCD/CURRCD-FINAL/Image%20Library/IM22-RadarMIA1992.gif
