Radar coverage (dual-Doppler lobes at
20 deg and
30 deg )
for the three possible CSU-CHILL radar sites identified by
Pat Kennedy. There is very little difference in coverage from either of
the two sites near Bethune Colorado. The site at the Kit Carson County
Airport near Burlington Colorado shortens the Goodland-CHILL baseline
from 59.8 (or 58.8) km to 52 km and rotates the two research radar lobes
a few degrees counter-clockwise, thereby aligning them slightly more
east-west compared to those for the two sites near Bethune.
These preliminary sites have now been replaced with new ones in the
Ops Plan.
