Doppler is commonly used to make atmosphere profiles of clouds. This includes their motion and the composition of the particles in air such as precipitation. Doppler radar is mostly used by meteorologists to track storms and inclement weather as we see on our local news stations and weather channels. The photo above is a Doppler radar image of Hurricane Francis approaching Florida in 2004. We can quickly identify the hurricane in the image as the Doppler radar picks it up.
