radar images

Pulse reflection displays

Radar images are visual representations created from radar data, showing how radio waves bounced off surfaces.

Unlike photographs that capture visible light, radar images reveal terrain, weather patterns, or objects through their reflections of electromagnetic pulses.

Meteorologists use radar images to track storms; satellites produce radar images of Earth's surface that can penetrate clouds or darkness.

The radar images showed a hurricane approaching the coast.
