About Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time, defined since 1972 as the time at the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) maintained by BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) in Sèvres, France. UTC is computed as a weighted average of approximately 400 atomic clocks at ~80 national metrology institutes (NIST in the US, NPL in UK, PTB in Germany, NICT in Japan, KRISS in Korea, etc.) per the formal definition in ITU-R Recommendation TF.460-6 (2002). UTC is functionally identical to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) for civil purposes but differs slightly in its underlying timescale — UTC uses atomic seconds with occasional leap seconds inserted (announced by IERS Bulletin C ~6 months in advance, last leap second was December 31, 2016, and the system may be retired by 2035 per Resolution D of CGPM 2022). UTC is the standard for aviation (ICAO Annex 5), maritime navigation (IMO COLREGS), all internet protocols (NTP, PTP per IEEE 1588), all scientific publications, GPS / Galileo / GLONASS / BeiDou GNSS, and Universal Time on Wikipedia/Wikidata.
About Mountain Standard Time (MST)
Mountain Standard Time (MST, IANA: America/Denver and America/Phoenix) is the time zone for the US Mountain region and most of Canada's Rocky Mountain provinces, set at UTC-7:00. MST is observed from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March; the region switches to Mountain Daylight Time (MDT = UTC-6:00) for the remainder of the year — EXCEPT for the State of Arizona (excluding Navajo Nation), which stays on MST year-round per Arizona Revised Statutes §1-242. Major MST cities: Denver, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Albuquerque, El Paso, Tucson, Calgary, Edmonton. MST covers Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho (most), New Mexico, Arizona, parts of Texas + Mexico (Sonora). Population ~17 million in the time zone. Affects: NORAD Cheyenne Mountain operations, Denver Mile-High Stadium NFL game scheduling, Colorado ski-resort lift-operating hours, US Bureau of Land Management permit operations, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir broadcast schedule from Salt Lake City.
