This is your standard radar data that shows precip or other solid/liquid particles in the atmosphere. The first type of data currently available is reflectivity. We currently have two types of radar data available with plans to add more soon. Use radar data with caution especially if your area of interest is far from the nearest radar location! A lot can happen between 0 and 5,000 feet and therefore the depiction of precipitation given by radar may differ some from what’s actually happening on the ground. Because of this phenomenon, the radar beam will only see precipitation falling through the mid levels of the atmosphere. To see this in action, imagine a circle (earth) with a straight line emanating from some point on the circle if you continue this line out into space, it will gradually get farther and farther from the circle. Because the earth is round and the radar beam is flat, the farther away from the radar tower the beam (energy) travels, the farther removed from the ground becomes. There is a notable constraint to radar data though. This is the highest resolution radar data available which enables you to see features such as sea breeze or outflow boundaries that standard resolution radar entirely misses. This data is gathered from over a hundred radar towers located across the US.

Infrared and thermal sensors allow satellites to observe ocean surface features, determine temperatures throughout the atmosphere (both over the land and ocean) and also determine the height and types of different clouds. They are only useful during daylight hours. Satellites make the use of visible light to take pictures of clouds, smoke, smog, and dust which allow meteorologists to track weather systems. Geostationary satellites are about 22,300 miles above the Earth, while polar orbiting satellites are only about 530 miles above the surface (their closer range provides better resolution. Satellites are either "geostationary" (in an orbit above the equator that keeps them stationary with respect to the Earth below) or "polar orbiting" (in a north to south orbit that passes over both poles of the Earth). It goes beyond just observing clouds, as sophisticated weather satellites can monitor many environmental factors like temperature, vegetation, ash and smoke clouds, ozone, ocean currents, and much more. Weather satellites are instruments in orbit around the Earth with the main goal of monitoring weather and climate.
