I would guess the radar altimeter satellites have a aperture resolution issue, and I knew there weren't a lot of tall buildings in either location I quoted, having been there personally.

Sorry no citations, don't remember what exactly I was watching last night other than PBS

Since no replies, further research says sat radar can see plain earth move the 3" & but they were noticing the Faa published heights were changing during some unrelated scientific study. Pbs terra about the millenial tower sinking, I think.
