Identify one advantage that weather radar has over a standard rain gauge
What will be an ideal response?
Rain gauges can measure to the nearest 0.025 centimeter, and this measurement is local and accurate to trace amounts. This measurement is not predictive and requires individual readings for each rain gauge. Weather radar forecasts precipitation rather than reading the amount of precipitation. It is useful for prediciting storms and can see the extent and rate of precipitation over large geographic areas.
