Title: | GPS Scintillations and Total Electron Content Climatology in the Southern American Sector | Publisher: | intechopen | Issue Date: | Nov-2018 | URL: | https://www.intechopen.com/books/accuracy-of-gnss-methods/gps-scintillations-and-total-electron-content-climatology-in-the-southern-american-sector | Abstract: | The radio communication and navigation systems can be strongly affected by the ionospheric conditions, which are controlled by solar phenomena associated with radiation variations and solar wind disturbances. These phenomena can generate ionospheric large-scale plasma redistribution and irregularities with scale sizes varying from centimeters to hundred kilometers. These ionospheric irregularities can produce rapid fluctuations in the amplitude and phase of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals, degrading the accuracy of GNSS measurements. Here we give a short review of the ionospheric variations associated with solar phenomena, and the actual state of art in the investigations of long-term (seasonal and solar cycle scales) TEC variations and climatology of scintillations, with focus on the southern American sector. It also presented a new TEC calibration procedure when applied to single-frequency PPP. |
