City of Orlando Chief of Police John W. Mina said Mateen seemed organized and well-prepared. On June 13, FBI Director James Comey told reporters, So far, we see no indication that this was a plot directed from outside the United States and we see no indication that he was part of any kind of network.
Ranging capabilities for reflective targets extends out to 1000 yards, for hard objects (such as trees) 650 yards and for soft targets (animals) the max distance is 325 yards. Bushnell has certified the unit to be fully waterproof sealed with O-rings and charged with nitrogen to avoid any internal fogging on the lens.
Second generation NEXRAD radar systems will have the capability to optically detect hailstone size down to the square mile. Base Reflectivity Base Reflectivity is a measure of the intensity of precipitation occurring, and is reported in units of DBZ. The WSR-88D emits pulses of energy into the atmosphere at regular intervals. When this energy impacts something (i.e. a raindrop, a snowflake, a mountain, etc.), some of the energy is scattered back to the radar dish. NEXRAD base reflectivity data are updated every 5, 6, or 10 minutes, depending on whether the radar is in normal precipitation mode, storm precipitation mode, or clear air mode.
