Which radars cover Enigma?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVAX (Moody AFB, GA), about 40 miles south-southeast. 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 Enigma | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KVAX Moody AFB, GA | 40 mi south-southeast | 2,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 88 mi north | 7,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTLH Tallahassee, FL | 92 mi southwest | 8,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
