Which radars cover Berlin?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDOX (Dover AFB, DE), about 36 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 Berlin | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDOX Dover AFB, DE | 36 mi north-northwest | 2,300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 120 mi north-northeast | 12,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 130 mi west-northwest | 14,500 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.
