How does radar collect data from the atmosphere?
As the radar antenna turns, it emits extremely short bursts of radio waves, called pulses. Each pulse lasts about 0.0000016 second, with a 0.00019-second "listening period" in between. The transmitted radio waves move through the atmosphere at about the speed of light.
