Description
The spinning blades of offshore wind turbines cause interference with high-frequency radars (HFR). The first five offshore wind turbines in the USA were installed in 2016 off Block Island, Rhode Island, near six coastal oceanographic SeaSonde HFR. This study is aimed to understand the impact of these wind farms on the national costal HFR network, and to develop techniques that mitigate the impact of turbine interference on all the radar data products.
