Doppler radar maps are common weather maps that display day to day information on current weather conditions or predictions of what the weather will do.  Doppler radar is popular amongst meteorologists becasue it detects short-term weather conditions that are in motion.  They are popularly used for hurricane systems because they can detect high and low pressure systems.  The map provided shows a hurricane hitting the coast of florida. The radar uses different colors to represent the strength of the storm (such as amount of rain), with red being the most intense conditions.  By showing the motion of a hurricane hitting the east coast lets this map be considered a Doppler Radar map.
