The utilization of radar as a method of observing clouds and cloud patterns has been most beneficial in the quest for an understanding of cloud physical processes, because radar is capable of "seeing" into the central parts of precipitating clouds, and can reveal the distribution and development of the precipitation patterns within them. One of the first extensive programs that used radar as a cloud physical research tool was the Thunderstorm Project (1949), which was carried out in Florida and Ohio in 1946 and 1947. Radar was used in this project to locate the levels of formation of first radar clouds or first echoes, and to study the vertical growth and horizontal and vertical extent of thunderstorms.
