The signal round-trip time is estimated very precisely to calculate the range, after applying corrections. It measures sea level, wave heights and wind speed. It is also able to estimate atmospheric electron content. Poseidon-3 will be coupled with DORIS, in order to improve measurements over coastal areas, inland waters and ice</gco:CharacterString></gmi:description></gmi:MI_Instrument>
