Recent papers and reports, mainly after 1980, on observation of storms, analyses of storm structures and detection of storms with Doppler radar are reviewed. These papers and reports (many in the journals of the American Meteorogical Society) introduce observational studies of the three dimensitnal structure of storms using multiple Doppler radar and methods of automatically detecting of storm signatures by Doppler radar. Recent trends in utilizing Doppler radar in major countries are also outlined. In this review, the three following conclusions are reached. The first, based on much observation and experiment, is that Dopple radar is extremaly useful for observation and detection of weather phonemena. The second is that for fundamental study of storm structure, especially three dimensional wind structure, observation with multiple Doppler radar is indispensable. For the automatic detection of storm signatures in real time, observation with a single Doppler radar is practical. The third is that it is becoming increasingly important to apply Doppler radar to the observation and detection of storms in Japan (heavy rainfall, heavy snowfall, typhoon and snow storm). The usefulness of millimeter, UHF and VHF radars for storm obsemvation at the same time as Doppler radars is also mentioned.
