Transcribed Text:

A radar sends out a very short pulse of energy (actually about 5000 per second). This pulse of energy travels away from the radar at the speed of light, expanding and gaining elevation as it goes. When the energy encounters particles in the atmosphere, some of that energy is scattered back towards the radar. The radar collects this "back-scattered" energy and processes it into an image.

A series of concentric circles formed by arrows and lines illustrates a cyclone or storm system, with the arrows indicating the wind direction and intensity. The image shows latitude and longitude lines, with labels such as 19N to 33N for latitude and 82W to 96W for longitude, indicating the geographic coordinates.

The image exhibits a close-up view of capillary waves on a water surface. These are small, delicate waves with smooth, flowing patterns that create a textured appearance across the entire image. The surface appears to have alternating light and dark areas, highlighting the wave ridges and troughs. The light catches the ridges, creating a shimmering effect that adds to the intricacy of the pattern.

The image is a weather map showing wind patterns in the southeastern United States and parts of the Atlantic Ocean. It includes states like Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, along with the Gulf of Mexico and parts of the Caribbean. Colored arrows indicate wind direction and speed, with a color scale ranging from dark blue for lighter winds to red for stronger winds. A concentration of arrows in a circular pattern is visible near the Gulf of Mexico, indicating a possible cyclonic activity. The background is white, with latitude and longitude lines marked in black.

The image is a grayscale satellite view depicting a weather pattern over a geographic area. The upper portion of the image shows a landmass with visible patterns of development likely representing urban areas. The central and lower sections of the image exhibit dark and light cloud formations over the water. Labeled lines mark key features: "Gust Front" is pointing to an area in the clouds near the center, and "Rain" is indicated towards the right. The clouds appear thick and varied in texture, with some areas denser and darker than others.
