FIKES is a weather radar of Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), listed as Kesälahti, in North Karelia, Finland. The antenna stands 174 m above sea level. Savonlinna lies 48 km west of the antenna.
Alerua reads the radar's own volume files from FMI's open data (CC BY 4.0), and the antenna position above comes from those files. The loop carries Reflectivity, composite reflectivity, echo tops, vertically integrated liquid, velocity, correlation coefficient, differential reflectivity, spectrum width.
Radar shows rain, snow and hail, not cloud, and nothing below its lowest beam; far from the antenna the beam passes high above the ground.
