Subject: New WSR-88D Installation Information effective no

NWS is installing a Weather Surveillance Radar-1988, Doppler

be operational no later than September 30, 2011. Below are
specifics on the radar:
ICAO: KLGX
Name: Langley Hill
Location: 47o 07' 0.83"N / 124o 06' 23.92"W
Ground elevation (MSL): 73m /240ft
Tower height (AGL): 30m / 98ft
Antenna height (AGL): 34.7m / 114ft
Antenna height (MSL): 108m / 354ft
This radar will be a baseline WSR-88D and will receive the Dual
Polarization upgrade as soon as possible after installation. The
radar will be considered as part of the WSR-88D network (e.g.
data distributed in real time and archived; will operate with the
same baseline software and data formats as the other network
radars).
Further notices will be sent as the operational date approaches.
