The RAdar SysTem Airborne (RASTA) radar is a 95GHz Doppler radar capable of operating onboard aircraft platforms or on the ground. It consists of a multibeam antenna system with several upward and downward antennas (depending on configuration) that allow for the three-dimensional retrievals of wind profiles above and below aircraft platforms in addition to microphysical properties of clouds and precipitation. RASTA has a vertical resolution of 60 meters, a range of 15 kilometers, and an ambiguous velocity of eight meters per second.
