Many Different Technologies to detect and help forecast weather
• Weather Satellites• Radar (Doppler, NEXRAD)• Balloons• Computer Programs
• Weather Agencies (Environment Canada, The Weather Network)

Satellite Imagery
• Mostly detects and tracks cloud cover• Detects light/heat/infrared radiation

Radar Imagery• Mostly detects and measures precipitation/storms• Detects by using microwaves

Weather Balloons• Carry various instruments to measure weather
factors

Weather Stations
• Often at airports• Instruments to collect temperature,
precipitation, wind speed, humidity,etc.
