CP4 WISP94 Radar Site Description

CP4 was sited 1 mile due west of South Roggen, Colorado. This general location was chosen so CP4 sould serve as part of a multiple Doppler network and so CP4 would have wide coverage of the NE Colorado plains. The specific site was selected based upon the small amount of interfering ground clutter, and the availability of phone and power.

CP4 coordinates, as determined from a hand-held GPS survey, are as follows (WGS84 coordinate system):

        40:06:08  N. Latitude
       104:21:26  W. Longitude
            1453  m  Elevation (at feedhorn)

Orientation of the CP4 trailers was selected to limit obstruction in the usable portions of dual Doppler lobes shared with other radars, with the modification that low-level scanning over the CHILL radar was required (CHILL azimuth: 328 degrees from CP4, referred to true north).
