Re: Am I seeing this right on Key West Long Range Radar??

It's been mentioned that due to the distance from the tower, that radar data is at an angle that makes motion unreliable.


Yes I believe the default Tilt for br radar is .5 deg
I'm using GR level 3 to view this storm from Key West radar and on this software the altitude of the return echo is displayed as you mouse over the radar. The display is ~32k feet at the eastern eyewall and ~45k feet where I'd guess the western eyewall would be. Katrina's core is passing the maximum range of this radar station.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
