چکیده
Reply to Anonymous Referee #1 Let me start by thanking the referee for his/her constructive comment and suggestion that have led to clear improvments in the manuscript. Below, please find a reply to the comment (reproduced in part in italics). Specific comments My lone concern comes in the attribution of the deviations from normal in radar scan data above the wind turbines to anomalous propagation as opposed to increased turbulence or sidelobes. The authors use a fairly coarse method of assigning blame by

A quantitative analysis of the impact of wind turbines on operational Doppler weather radar data
In many countries wind turbines are rapidly growing in numbers as the demand for energy from renewable sources increases. The continued deployment of wind turbines can, however, be problematic for many radar systems, which are easily disturbed by turbines located in the radar line of sight. Wind turbines situated in the vicinity of Doppler weather radars can lead to erroneous precipitation esti...
متن کاملWind turbine impact on operational weather radar I/Q data: characterisation and filtering
For the past 2 decades wind turbines have been growing in number all over the world as a response to the increasing demand for renewable energy. However, the rapid expansion of wind turbines presents a problem for many radar systems, including weather radars. Wind turbines in the line of sight of a weather radar can have a negative impact on the radar’s measurements. As weather radars are impor...
متن کاملDoppler Weather Radars and Wind Turbines
In many countries the number of wind turbines is growing rapidly as a response to the increasing demand for renewable energy. The cumulative capacity of wind turbines worldwide has shown a near 10-fold increase in the last decade (Global Wind Energy Council, 2011) and in the coming years many more wind turbines are expected to be built. Existing, older wind turbines are likely to be replaced by...
متن کاملP10.1 Automatic Detection of Wind Turbine Clutter Using Doppler Spectral Features
Wind turbines built to generate electricity cause clutter contamination that is often difficult to distinguish from weather signals. As the country relies on wind power for a larger portion of its energy production, more wind farms are being built to meet this demand. More wind turbines within the range of weather radar increase unwanted clutter returns, which may affect users and other algorit...
