Tides in the equatorial mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region have continued to be of interest to the researchers because of their variabilities in different temporal and spatial scales that are yet to be modeled and whose causative mechanisms are yet to be understood. Ground based radars in the equatorial region have not been many but those from Christmas Island (2oN, 158oW), Jakarta (6.4oS, 106.7oE), Pontianak (0.03oN, 109.3oE) and Tirunelveli (8.7oN, 77.8oE) have provided a good amount of data base that has been used in the recent past to characterize many of the observational features of the tides over these sites. Recently, two more radars have been deployed in Indonesia, namely, the meteor radar at Koto Tabang (0.2o^S, 100.3oE) and the MF radar at Pameungpeuk (7.5oS, 107.5oE). The present work focuses on the tidal characteristics observed over Indonesia and India at three of those stations mentioned above, namely, Pontianak, Koto Tabang and Tirunelveli. Both short (over a period of a month) and long (over a period of a year) term tidal variabilities are examined in detail and the peculiarities in their behavior over the respective altitudes as well as between the longitudes are highlighted and discussed in this paper.
