(The proposed project is within 10 miles of the Doppler)
Within 18 km [11.1mi] wind turbines cause additional impacts including: clutter on multiple elevation scans, multipath clutter down range of the wind turbines, and greater impacts to radar algorithms. Multipath scattering from wind turbines can extend the contaminated data up to 40 km beyond the wind farm. Turbines sited within 4 km [2.5mi] of the radar may also cause significant (>10%) attenuation/blockage of the radar beam impacting data throughout the entire range (460 km-reflectivity, 300 km-velocity) of the radar.
