Rainfall since 9am local time is displayed with coloured dots.
On local radar pages distance and latitude/longitude coordinates are displayed next to the time stamp
when you mouse over the map. The origin for distance measuring is indicated by a red dot and defaults to
either your location, if specified and in range, or the location of the radar (the centre of the map). The
origin may be changed by clicking elsewhere on the map.

This installation is primarily a windfinding radar. The coverage in weather watch mode is poor. Surrounded by mountains and hills in most directions, it provides coverage for the immediate area surrounding Hobart Airport, about 40km along the Coal River Valley to the northwest and to the southeast over Frederick Henry Bay to the Tasman Peninsula.
