- - - - Satellites- they take photographs of planet earth and can see the cloud patterns. make repeated observations of a certain area.gets high temporal data. due to the high orbit, the spatial resolution of the data is not as great as for the polar orbiting satellites.
        they’re a good sustainability as they will stay there but they are expensive.
        
        Doppler Radar - can estimate rainfall amounts, change in frequency when more rain the frequency of airwaves.
        the radar can see through the medium consisting of fog, snow and rain. they are expensive.It can not distinguish and resolve multiple targets which are very close to our eye.It can not see targets which are in the water and are too deep.It can not recognize the colour of the targets.
