The image shown above is an example of a radar image. In my own words, radar images are created by using a transmitter to send of waves that bounce of other objects or energy waves. These waves return to the transmitter and are received and measured by the transmitter's antenna. This data is then used to create images and maps that can be used for countless purposes. The map above is a radar image of a tropical storm. The energy of the water within the storm was what reflected the radar waves, and are what is being on the map in green and blue.
