Previously only available through the RadarScope application, RadarScope layers are now available within AviationSentry. We’ve added the capability of RadarScope data, to the map.

Enabling RadarScope

How to Use RadarScope

• RadarScope provides the raw data from the operational NEXRAD radar array in the United States, Australia and a few additional countries.
• You can only view one radar’s data at a time. To change radars, click on the name of the radar that you would like to view and to change the data hover over the RadarScope layer in the legend at the bottom and choose the desired data layer.

• You can change the tilt of the radar bean to view the data at higher or lower elevation.
