Weather radars can provide information on precipitation intensities and wind velocities ... Information from weather radars are used to predict the formation of typhoons, hurricanes, tornadoes and other severe weather events and to follow their course. They also are used in predicting the potential for flash floods, high winds and lightning potential. 6, record 1, English, - weather%20radar

La dispersión de las ondas electromagnéticas en longitudes de onda de unos milímetros a varios centímetros, producida por las gotas de agua o de nubes, se utiliza para determinar la distancia, el tamaño, la forma, la ubicación, el movimiento y la fase (líquida y sólida), así como la intensidad de la precipitación. Otra aplicación es la detección de los fenómenos en aire claro gracias a la dispersión producida por insectos, aves, etc., y a las fluctuaciones del índice de refracción. 2, record 1, Spanish, - radar%20meteorol%C3%B3gico
