What causes ground clutter?
Ground clutter can be caused by an inversion. An inversion is a layer of warm air up above cool air. Ground clutter is most common in the morning hours. So the next time you see green on radar, even when the skies are clear, just know it might be from various objects in the sky.
What is meant by radar clutter?
Clutter is a term used for unwanted echoes in electronic systems, particularly in reference to radars. Such echoes are typically returned from ground, sea, rain, animals/insects, chaff and atmospheric turbulences, and can cause serious performance issues with radar systems.
What is ground clutter suppression?
Ground Clutter Suppression reduces the amount of returns due to highly reflective objects on the ground, such as buildings or cities, while maintaining the intensity and size of weather returns. This feature requires an unlock, which can be purchased and installed through your Garmin dealer. Was this page helpful?
