Which radars cover Morocco?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLOT (Chicago, IL), about 56 miles northwest. 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 Morocco | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLOT Chicago, IL | 56 mi northwest | 4,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 95 mi east-northeast | 9,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 105 mi southeast | 10,400 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.
