Definitions for "Doris "
Envisat Instrument for Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite
Acronym for Doppler Orbitography and Radio-positioning Integrated by Satellite, a system developed by CNES to meet the needs of very precise satellite orbit determination and high accuracy location of ground beacons for point positioning. The basic operational principle is based on the accurate measurement of the Doppler shift of radio frequency signals emitted by ground beacons and received by the satellite. Measurements are made at two frequencies; one for Doppler measurement and the other for ionospheric correction. DORIS is flying on the SPOT2, SPOT3 and TOPEX oceanography satellites, and is scheduled to fly on SPOT4, SPOT5, ENVISAT and TOPEX missions. See the DORIS Web site.

Doris (Greek: : Eth. , pl. , ; Latin: Dores, Dorienses), is small mountainous district in ancient Greece, bounded by Aetolia, southern Thessaly, the Ozolian Locrians, and Phocis; the original homeland of the Dorian Greeks. It lies between Mounts Oeta and Parnassus, and consists of the valley of the river Pindus , a tributary of the Cephissus, into which it flows not far from the sources of the latter. The Pindus is now called the Apostoliá.
Doris (Greek: ) was a small region of ancient Asia Minor inhabited by Dorians; the territory is now in modern-day Turkey. Pliny (v. 28) says, Caria mediae Doridi circumfunditur ad mare utroque latere ambiens, by which he means that Doris is surrounded by Caria on all sides, except where it is bordered by the sea. He makes Doris begin at Cnidus.
Doris is a "comedy opera" in three acts, with a libretto by B. C. Stephenson and music by Alfred Cellier. After the phenomenal success of Stephenson and Cellier's Dorothy (1886), the pair were hoping for another big hit.
