19. Doppler Radar


Dopler radar uses the returned echo off of certain objects to measure radial velocity, portraying different colors which represent the varying intensities.  This particular Doppler Radar image is of Hurricane Katrina nearing New Orleans in 2005.  The legend on the side tells you exactly what colors mean and you are able to tell the intensity.
