Answer 1

Answer:

Doppler Radar

Explanation:

Doppler radars are considered one of the best tools used for the detection of rainfall in a particular area. These radars work by way of sending beams out in a circular pattern all round the radar. Once a beam hits a hailstone or a raindrop, part of the beam is reflected back towards the radar.
