Maps using isotherms show temperature gradients, which can help locate weather fronts.
The Sea-Based X-Band Radar underway. The Sea-Based X-Band Radar ( SBX-1) is a floating, self-propelled, mobile active electronically scanned array early-warning radar station designed to operate in high winds and heavy seas. It was developed as part of the United States Department of Defense Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) Ballistic Missile ...
Radar cross-section ( RCS ), denoted σ, also called radar signature, is a measure of how detectable an object is by radar. A larger RCS indicates that an object is more easily detected. [1] An object reflects a limited amount of radar energy back to the source. The factors that influence this include: [1]

One of NOAA's National Severe Storms Laboratory Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) sensors. A lightning detector is a device that detects lightning produced by thunderstorms.There are three primary types of detectors: ground-based systems using multiple antennas, mobile systems using a direction and a sense antenna in the same location (often aboard an aircraft), and space-based systems.
