How well can the network see Rockledge?
The nearest Doppler radar is KMLB (Melbourne, FL), 15 miles to the SSE. A WSR-88D's lowest routine scan sits half a degree above horizontal, and the earth curves away beneath it, so by the time that beam reaches Rockledge its center is about 820 ft above ground. That is about as close as radar coverage gets in the United States: the lowest scan is still near the ground when it reaches Rockledge, so low-level rotation and the leading edge of a gust front show up on it. Rockledge is closer to its radar than 90% of US cities.
The closest instrument actually measuring the air is KCOI · Cocoa/Merritt Isl Arpt on the ASOS/AWOS network, 3.6 miles away. Close enough that its readings are, for practical purposes, the conditions in town.
Beam height is the standard 4/3-earth approximation for the 0.5° scan and assumes normal refraction; it is where the center of the beam is, not its edges, and unusual temperature profiles bend it. Radar siting from the NWS WSR-88D network, station positions from the Florida observing network as of this build.
