Original Note:
The 'beams' shown in this radar loop are caused by RF interference - a well documented issue. Doppler radars are prone to interference from sources transmitting on a frequency close to that of what the radar is operating on. Radar data shown is also heavily smoothed. https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3298/6/12/126 https://digital-library.theiet.org/doi/abs/10.1049/SBRA557H_ch6 https://www.eumetnet.eu/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/OPERA_2008_12_Recommendation_RLAN.pdf https://www.roc.noaa.gov/public-documents/operations-branch/Data_Quality_Oddities_and_Anomalies.pdf https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/bams/97/7/bams-d-15-00048.1.xml?tab_body=pdf https://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/publications/13-490_1_.pdf
