An MST radar operating at 53 MHz with an average power aperture product of 7 × 10 8 W m 2 has been established at Gadanki (13.5°N, 79.2°E), India. The radar development has been accomplished in two phases. In the first phase it was commissioned in ST mode using a partial system comprising one quarter (16 × 16)of the Yagi antenna array and 16 driver units of the transmitters providing an average power aperture product of 4.8 × 10 6 W m 2 . In this part we present the radar system description, including off‐line data processing, and some sample high‐resolution vector wind measurements made in ST mode operation.
