I have read many times here about how noise is generated when wind strikes
an antenna made of bare conductors.
Does the same effect occur on a mobile antenna?
If you are talking about precipitation static,
defined at:
http://www.atis.org/tg2k/_precipitation_static.html
the problem is severe and well-documented for airplane
antennas and therefore would exist for mobile antennas.
But air alone passing over an antenna is not sufficient
to produce the effect. For precipitation static to occur,
the air must contain precipitation in the form of
charged particles of dust, snow, rain, etc.
