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

Quote:

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.
