How is Doppler radar better than the regular radar in detecting weather related events?
Doppler radar is better at detecting weather because the extra degree of freedom provides integration across successive measurement that also provides a butter signal to noise. Further more the Doppler domain allows the separation of ground clutter from moving objects like clouds and wind in storms. Finally Doppler radar is coherent so the integration method favored if FFT rather then non-coherent integrations like rolling moving averages etc.
