What is the treatment of Radar wave in rocky mountains? I need some information about this subject.
What do you mean for "treatment" ?
Concerning meteorological radars, there are two main topics related to rocky mountains (or ground clutter):
(1) identify/removing ground clutter contamination;
(2) use ground clutter return signals for check on radar calibration or to extract weather-related information.
