5. 3 1 6 Sea return Not all radar echoes are produced by hard navigation items such as boats buoys and land Some radar echoes may be received from irregularities on the surface of the water particularly at close range by breaking wavecrests particularly in windy weather and in heavy seas These echoes appear on the radar screen on the short range scales as multiple small echoes next to own ship Under high winds and extreme conditions the echoes from sea clutter may appear as dense background of clutter forming the shape of an almost solid disc as far as one to three miles in all directions from own ship but the worst direction is where the wind is blowing towards the ship The radar has a sea clutter control which can be used to minimize the effects of sea clutter pickup on the screen 3 1 7 Storm and rain squall returns The radar can also see echoes from rain or snow Echoes from rain squalls consist of countless small echoes continuously changing in size intensity and position These returns sometimes appear as large hazy areas on the display depending on the intensity of the rainfall or snow in the storm cell The cells usually may be visible at long distances due to their high altitude above the radar horizon and are very helpful for observing potential bad weather conditions If the returns from rain squalls are not desired the Rain clutter control can be adjusted to minimize the effect on the radar screen 3 1 8 Blind secto
