There is an airplane flying at 10 km altitude with a radar sending a 1 degree beam tangentially. At 200 km distance, a) what is the beam width? B) what are the heights of the top and bottom of the beam respect to the earth surface? If there is a storm reaching 10 km at 200 km distance, can pilot see the storm on his screen? (assume the standard atmospheric refraction)
