The Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere (MST) Radar is a ground-based radar operated by the National Atmospheric Research Laboratory (NARL) and located at Gadanki, India. It is a coherent pulsed Doppler radar that detects backscatter to provide wind profiles in the troposphere, lower stratosphere, and mesosphere. It operates at 53 MHz and reaches heights of up to 100 km in the atmosphere. The MST Radar has a typical range resolution of 150 meters and a temporal resolution of 1 minute.
