What Ifif the Towertower Is Obstructedobstructed by Cloudsclouds?

What Ifif the Towertower Is Obstructedobstructed by Cloudsclouds?

I know towers use radar to watch aircraft, obviously. But what about ground controllers? What if their view is obstructed by a low cloud level/fog?

Is there such a thing as ground-based traffic tracking? I’m not a pilot so bear with me if I sound naive.
