Doppler radar Meteorologists and weather analysts use the Doppler Effect to read weather events. In this case, the fixed transmitter is located at a weather station and the moving object being studied is a storm system. This is what happens: 1. Radio waves are emitted from the transmitter at the weather station at a specific frequency. 2. The waves are large enough to interact with clouds and other atmospheric objects. The waves strike the atmospheric objects and bounce back toward the receiver at
