True-False QuestionDoppler radar measures tangential velocities.
True False
Doppler radar measures velocities by noting the difference in frequency between the transmitted pulse and the return pulse.
True False
Standard weather radars send out a linear electromagnetic pulse that is horizontally polarized. The difference between it and a polarimetric radar is that in a polarimetric radar, a vertically polarized wave is transmitted.
True False
