    • Description

      RA-2 measures the satellite’s height above the surface to an accuracy of 4.5 cm. When combined with exact orbital tracking data from DORIS, RA-2 measurements yield a profile of the sea surface below. MWR measures amount of water vapour in atmosphere to correct RA-2 radar signals for best accuracy
