radar imagery
Echo-based weather visuals
Radar imagery refers to images produced by radar systems, which use radio waves to detect and map surfaces.
Unlike optical photography, radar can penetrate clouds, darkness, and vegetation, making it valuable for weather forecasting, military reconnaissance, and terrain mapping.
Satellite radar imagery reveals ground features invisible to conventional cameras: The radar imagery showed flooding beneath the tree canopy.
