A major limitation of Doppler radar for hurricane monitoring is its ability to "see":
A) tornadic rotation.
B) direction of wind motion.
C) areas of particularly intense rainfall.
D) over distances beyond 200 miles.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Doppler radar has a limited range and cannot "see" beyond 200 miles, making it difficult to monitor hurricanes that are farther out in the ocean. However, it can detect the direction and speed of wind motion, as well as areas of intense rainfall, but it may not be able to detect tornadic rotation within the hurricane.
