Which radars cover Marienthal?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGLD (Goodland, KS), about 66 miles north-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 Marienthal | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGLD Goodland, KS | 66 mi north-northwest | 5,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KDDC Dodge City, KS | 85 mi southeast | 7,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPUX Pueblo, CO | 160 mi west | 20,200 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.
