The specifications for the radar system below are typical of a pulsed radar system and not what I would expect from a standard Doppler radar. The duty cycle appears to be .1% for the unit listed whereas a Doppler radar is CW. The average power is 1300 watts of RF into the antenna, I assume. The gain of the antenna may be 34 dB relative to an isotropic radiator.
Someone might be thinking of a pulsed Doppler radar which measures the change in transmit frequency of the returning pulses to get target velocity information. That type of radar is not a standard Doppler.

I have not taken a close look at your research, but I would not be surprised if you ended up being onto something about doppler radar being a source of hypoxia, oxygen free radicals and the death of nearby animal and plant life. You also have a theory of dark matter, and a hunch that dark matter is indirectly responsible for the conclusions concerning doppler radar that you arrive at in your informal research. On the connection to dark matter, I personally have no opinion. I am skeptical, however, that your research is sufficient to establish any kind of linkage between the effects of doppler radar and dark matter, however. In light of this doubt, I think you might be able to get your investigation into doppler radar out to a wider audience if you did not combine it with the question of dark matter. Adding dark matter into the mix asks too much of people in their suspension of disbelief for them to be able to give much credibility to your doppler radar hunch, even if both hunches ended up being true.
