BASTA is a bistatic W-band FMCW Doppler cloud radar that was developed by the Laboratoire ATmosphère, Milieux, et Observations Spatiales (LATMOS), Guyancourt, France. Its three different modes of vertically profiling, with a vertical resolution of 12.5, 25 and 100 m, allow specific targeting of fog and low clouds, liquid and ice clouds, and optically thin high-level ice clouds, respectively. More information can be found on the LATMOS-webiste.
