Mesoscale ocean altimetry remains a challenge in satellite remote sensing. Conventional nadir-looking radar al- timeters can make observations only along the satellite ground track, and many of them are needed to sample the sea surface at the required spatial and temporal resolutions. The Passive Reflectometry and Interferometry System (PARIS) using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) reflected signals was pro- posed as a means to perform ocean altimetry along several tracks simultaneously spread over a wide swath. The bandwidth lim- itation of the GNSS signals and the large ionospheric delay at L-band are however issues which deserve careful attention in the design and performance of a PARIS ocean altimeter. This paper describes such an instrument specially conceived to fully exploit the GNSS signals for best altimetric performance and to provide multifrequency observations to correct for the ionospheric delay. Furthermore, an in-orbit demonstration mission that would prove the expected altimetric accuracy suited for mesoscale ocean science is proposed.
