Understand the Problem
The question is asking about different sources of RADAR observations and requires the identification of which options provided are indeed sources.
Answer
Terminal RADAR, FAA Terminal Doppler Weather RADAR, FAA Airport Surveillance RADAR, WSR-88D NEXRAD RADAR/Doppler RADAR.
Sources of RADAR observations include Terminal RADAR, FAA Terminal Doppler Weather RADAR, FAA Airport Surveillance RADAR, and WSR-88D NEXRAD RADAR/Doppler RADAR.
Answer for screen readers
Sources of RADAR observations include Terminal RADAR, FAA Terminal Doppler Weather RADAR, FAA Airport Surveillance RADAR, and WSR-88D NEXRAD RADAR/Doppler RADAR.
More Information
RADAR, or Radio Detection and Ranging, is widely used for detecting and ranging objects with radio waves. Different types of RADAR have specific roles, such as weather prediction and air traffic management.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming satellite RADAR is a standard part of typical aviation and weather observation systems, but it's not usually included in the same category as others like NEXRAD or TDWR.
