Beam Blockage Fraction

Beam Blockage Fraction is a radar meteorology metric that quantifies the proportion of a radar beam's cross-sectional area obstructed by terrain or other physical barriers, distinguishing it from related attenuation measures by specifically isolating geometric occlusion effects in the propagation path.
