Which radars cover White Mountain?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is PAEC (Nome, AK), about 57 miles west-southwest. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.
| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over White Mountain | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| PAEC Nome, AK | 57 mi west-southwest | 4,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| PABC Bethel, AK | 274 mi south | 50,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| PAPD Pedro Dome, AK | 468 mi east | 131,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
