6.3.7. Radar Layer

 
SAGA provides Nexrad radar data for radar sites in the continental US, Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico.
 
SAGA radar data is a radar animation of the 10 most recent radar echoes for a station. Since each echo is replaced with a new one every 10 minutes, one animation covers the most recent 1 hour and 40 minutes of echoes at the subject station. We present the composite short range radar reflectivity in that animation.
 
If the geographic area you have selected on the Map overlaps an active radar site that site will appear on a dropdown list which will appear when you select the Radar Layer. Tap on one or more of the radar sites which appear on this list to add it to your download set.
