      <Description>The level 5 TEC data are derived following a method described in 
             details by Mouginot et al. Planetary Space Science, V56, 2008. 
             The correction method consists in finding the three parameters [ a1 ; a2 ; a3 ] 
             defining the signal distortion phase Δφ induced by the ionosphere. 
             In the time domain, the ionosphere distortion generates a delay and a spreading 
             of the radar pulse. It is clearly visible on MARSIS radargram without correction. 
             A by-product of the ionospheric correction is the TEC, that can be easily obtained
             from the [ a1 ; a2 ; a3 ] parameters. [ a1 ; a2 ; a3 ] are 
             investigated in ordrer to get Δφ with the best SNR As initial conditions for this
             optimization, we use the parameters fitting with a simplified Gaussian 
             density-profile of the ionosphere.
Then the optimization is done by using the following constraints:
 * A constraint on the vertical position of the surface echo estimated with the digital elevation model MOLA.
 * A constraint on the SNR. The signal amplitude must be maximal after correction.
