The wind farms very definitely screw up the NEXRAD weather radars around here. Creates an entirely false doppler pattern which apparently isn’t consistent and hard to filter out with software.

That is precisely the reason for the problem. Those big wind turbines will definitely create a Doppler signature that should vary with their rotational speed. And that speed varies from turbine to turbine as well as varying throughout the day.

Such a small price to pay, along with a few birds, for the privilege of over paying for our electricity on our way to a green Nirvana.
