How do we see the wind in order to track hurricanes?

This is pretty cool. I never knew what we were looking at when we watched the computers tracking the hurricane.

I saw swirls moving around. Was it the wind? For the most part, yes. But it’s the stuff in the wind that we are looking at.

What stuff? —

  1. Seeing how Europe is constantly getting wind from west-to-east, how does anything that is supposed to be radioactive from Russia get there? I see a good amount of African dirt wafting across Europe, wouldn’t that be a more likely culprit?

    Looking at Texas, I can see what I’ve experienced. Bad weather comes from the N.W. and when it’s good weather, has a low-speed prevailing wind from the gulf. So how does Russian anything land in Europe if it doesn’t show that kind of action?
