This instrument measures radiation from Earth's surface at three frequencies (18, 21 and 37 GHz). Measurements acquired at each frequency are combined to determine atmospheric water vapor and liquid water content. Once the water content is known, we can determine the correction to be applied for radar signal path delays.</gco:CharacterString></gmi:description></gmi:MI_Instrument>
