Doppler Radar

The image above was taken by a Doppler Radar of hurricane Isabel in 2003.  The Doppler Radar imaging allows the breakdowns of the outer bands of the hurricane by showing the strength of  the maximum wind speed.  The image also predicts areas that would suffer from worse weather conditions such as heavy rain or even hail which is a useful tool for whomever is in the area.
