Radars in Florida are showing unusual activity despite clear skies. But why?
That’s because there’s a large bird migration currently underway.
The Correlation Coefficient radar is used to determine whether the radar is picking up precipitation or something else, like debris. It detects the shapes of the particles it picks up.
Birds are flying south for the winter, creating the unusual radar patterns.
