Answer: amount of precipitation reaching the ground

Explanation:

A Doppler radar uses the Doppler effect when measuring return echoes after having sent a signal (in this specific case microwaves).

In the case of weather radars, a microwave signal is sent to a target and then reflected, so that the radar system measures this difference between the sent signal and the reflected signal.  

So, a Doppler radar is is useful to determine the intensity of the precipitation and its location, <u>by calculating its motion, and estimating its type</u> (for example: rain or snow, among others). In addition, this type of radar is able to <u>determine the height and the structure of storms by detecting the motion of rain droplets</u>.

However, <u>weather radars are not capable to determine the amount of precipitation reaching the ground.</u>

URGENT! 15 POINTS! <br><br> How did the government recently change the constitution in Myanmar?
Eddi Din [679]

Opposition groups inside and outside of the country have largely rejected the regime’s announcement as business as usual. The government presents itself as a regime that plays by the rules (even if it creates the rules) and believes it has no reason to compromise with the opposition. The opposition, meanwhile, is caught uneasily between rejecting the government’s rules and pushing for a different rule-based political and economic system.

Not withstanding the Burmese government’s poor track record, its recent statement should not be summarily dismissed. The government is preparing for change. This change may not necessarily be good, and it may not be positive. But something is happening inside Burma, and both the international community and the Burmese opposition must come up with a response.
