Doppler radar has been a very important tool used in weather forecasting that has helped us to detect thunderstorms and their movements. The Doppler photo in the example is from Hurricane Frances that hit the coast of Florida in 2004. Doppler radar was able to detect this massive storm days in advance of this photo which allowed people in the area to properly prepare. Doppler uses microwave radiation to detect these movements. Doppler radar has been one of the biggest advances in predicting weather.
