Abstract
The split-step solution to the parabolic wave equation describing beam propagation permits examination of the signal degradation in a Doppler weather radar caused by wind turbines blockage under general atmospheric conditions and at arbitrary transmitter and receiver configurations. At radar wavelengths, an understanding of turbine and terrain obscuration effects is essential for deciding the reliability of radar measurements affected by blockage.
