NEXRAD (next--generation radar) detects precipitation and
atmospheric movement. NEXRAD is a network of 159 high--resolution
Doppler radars operated by the National Weather Service (NWS), an
agency of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA), to detect meteorological data for the United States. The data
can be processed and displayed in a mosaic map showing patterns of
precipitation and movement. Each NEXRAD radar site has a maximum
range of 250 NM.
