Frame Rate (minutes per second)
How fast the animation plays: data time per real second (for example 5 min/s advances five minutes of radar each second).
Show Range
Shows range circles over the map so you can judge distance from the centre of the map.
Flip Tools
Moves tools left or right for left- or right-handed use. Same as Handedness in Settings.
The Learmonth radar has 360 degree unimpeded view of the area and is approximately 330 metres above sea level. Radar images can be subject to anomalous propagation of the radar signal which results in false echoes along Ningaloo Reef. Ningaloo Reef is in close proximity to the shore and follows the western coastline of North West Cape. False echoes caused by reflections off the hills in the inland Pilbara can also be observed from time to time in the south-east quadrant of the radar image out to a range of 250 km. This anomalous propagation is easily identified and is displayed as a mass of low intensity echoes constantly changing shape with no apparent direction of movement. True rain echoes normally have a consistent direction of movement from one scan to the next. Echoes within approximately five kilometres of the radar and overhead can be poorly resolved as the scanning elevation is too low. <a
