How well can the network see Oshkosh?
The nearest Doppler radar is KGRB (Green Bay, WI), 40 miles to the NE. 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 Oshkosh its center is about 2,600 ft above ground. That is comfortably inside the useful range. The lowest scan passes low enough over Oshkosh to show rotation in the part of a storm where tornadoes actually form. Oshkosh is closer to its radar than 57% of US cities.
The closest instrument actually measuring the air is KOSH · Oshkosh/Wittman Rgnl on the ASOS/AWOS network, 3.9 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 Wisconsin observing network as of this build.
