An MST radar operating at 53 MHz with an average power aperture product of 7¿108 W m2 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¿106 W m2. 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. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1995
