It is usually in reference to a radar image. I think it is when the radar falsely reads moisture in an area, but I'm not certain.
Can anyone help?

Ground clutter is an unavoidable form of radar contamination. It occurs when fixed objects, such as buildings, trees, or terrain, obstruct the radar beam and produce non-meteorological echoes. Echoes resulting from ground clutter are usually exaggerated in both size and intensity and may cause radar systems to overestimate precipitation intensity near the radar.

Ground clutter is that which results from having too much crap around your apartment. Sweat socks, pizza boxes, beer cans, and old underwear are all examples of ground clutter.
