Abstract
In section 1.1 named History, we survey the origin, history and evolution of meteorological radar. Then in section 1.2 we shall have a discussion of the general principles of radar and a preliminary view of scattering of electromagnetic radiation by meteorological targets. In section 1.3 on technology, we deal with radar equipment and circuitry to the extent needed to facilitate understanding of its operation, capabilities and limitations.
