It will be integrated mission which will cater to global observations of climate, ocean and atmosphere.
Intruments to cater oceanographic applications will be microwave sensors such as a Ku band Alitimeter, Ku band Scatterometer, Microwave Radiometer and Thermal Infra-red Radiometer for observing oceanographic parameters like winds, sea surface temperature, waves, bathymetry, internal waves etc.,.
Instruments for atmospheric chemistry applications include spectrometers, sounders and radiometers for studying the atmospheric constituents, pollution and for monotoring ozone and greenhouse effect.
Instruments to observe climate and meteorological parameters will include microwave sounders, radiometers, rain radars etc.,. These satellites are slated for launch in 2001.
