Abstract
Applications of VHF and UHF Doppler radars to research in synoptic meteorology are reviewed. We find that these radars show great potential for studies of large scales, but the area of research where the instruments really excel is in studying the interaction between the synoptic scale and the mesoscale. Several examples of results in both these areas are presented. Finally, the potential for operational use of the radar systems is discussed.Keywords
