RADAR vs. SATELLITE

Why is it that Satellite imagery or tracking

shows the hurricane, but Radar does not?

Does anyone know?

I've checked multiple sites.

Grazie, thanks and hallelujah if you can tell me.

*waits*

Following because I noticed the same thing. Maybe satellite only shows the cloud mass while the radar shows the other elements? Not sure. But it's interesting.

Evil hurricane face in effect. ?

Stupid matrixing. Lol

Anyway, I'm not off the bat well versed in radar as it relates to weather, but Doppler radar should detect it. There may be some caveats, though:

https://www.sciencedaily.com/terms/doppler_radar.htm

The classic zero doppler target is one which is on a heading that is tangential to the radar antenna beam.

Basically, any target that is heading 90 degrees in relation to the antenna beam cannot be detected.

I'm assuming this is relevant. But I would think that other Doppler radar in the area would somehow detect it, at least one or more.

Doppler radar as I know it best, is used at airports to detect severe downdrafts and the like, which have enough force to push aircraft right into the ground while on close approach. I'm assuming the radar must be positioned ideally in order to detect these columns of air, so I also assume that having them simply in the vicinity thereof isn't sufficient.

Thank you, my friend.

And yes, I figure the Radar should be spot on.

But I also know that news and weather vultures

needlessly amp up the potential of these storms

well beyond a 'better safe than sorry" standard.

And I resent the hell out of it... I caught news story

video from the Jamaican Herald (or something),

titled-- THREAT FIZZLES...

And dey say If it come, it come... we still be heah.

Weather's big biz, Monte, as you know.

When these storms come around some folks get a little CNN'y: wall-to-wall coverage, "embedded" reporters soldiering in rain gear on scene, experts "weighing in"... "Was the storm having marital problems"? "Hurricane Joe's dark past, and more, tonight!" "Was the storm hijacked?"

Ha!

I love it. 🙂

Loop the radar and you can see the movement. A still will only pick up the varying intensity of the individual TS pockets and rain bands.

I did.

It simple: the hurricane doesn't exist.

It's a false flag operation from the NSA/FEMA to introduce martial law in the USA and get the country directed by north korean soldiers under direct rule from barrack hussein obama.

What else?

i thought radar bounces microwaves off the water in the storm
