[QUOTE="Michael Cacioppo, post: 709808, member: 57235"] Caymen, yes, but for sound waves to move that much air around would require a lot of energy. The distortion cause by heat is the moving air affected by heat gradients. If there was enough energy from sonar we would be able to see the light distortion cause by the air motion. At reasonable levels, we don't. We can feel the air movement caused by heat convection. Put your hand in front of sonar and you will not feel the SONAR waves, again at any reasonable energy levels of SONAR. In my opinion it would not affect the RADAR in any reasonable manner. [/QUOTE]
