A radar detector is a radio receiver that beeps when it receives radar indicators. Sea clutter may be decreased through the use of horizontal polarization, whereas rain is decreased with round polarization (meteorological radars wish for the opposite impact, and subsequently use linear polarization to detect precipitation). Weather radar may occasionally pick up mirrored signals from sources apart from rain, such as reflections from clouds, bushes, buildings, birds, hills, sea waves and even distant land mass.
One other essential use of radar information is the flexibility to evaluate the quantity of precipitation that has fallen over massive basins, for use in hydrological calculations; such information is helpful in flood control, sewer management and dam construction. The adjustment of these first 5 controls is aimed at giving ‘targets’ – the physical objects that mirror radar waves – the best possible probability of appearing on the display screen as ‘contacts’.
