Above is a Doppler radar image from the National Weather Service from Hurricane Frances in 2004. The direction and speed of water droplets suspended in the air are recorded through the use of microwaves by the Doppler system. Computers then take the data and turn it into visible images of weather patterns over different sections of the globe.
