Short summary
Wind turbine clutter (WTC) reduces the accuracy of weather radar measurements, as turbines may now be built closer to radar sites. A dynamic algorithm reliably detects WTC when wind turbine rotor speeds exceed 5 rpm. Beamblockage due to WT in the 5 km range is significant. A wind turbine-free 5 km radius is recommended.
