Summary:This paper describes the influence of echoes from wind farm to weather radar. Currently, the echoes from the wind farm located in radar operational range are causing interferences. These interference and signal disturbances are processed by the radar and on high level signal products visible for the operator there are fake images of clouds, rains, storms in wind farm location. In this paper the authors will show results of processing raw weather radar data on which the presence of the wind farm is observed.
