HMO-PSWS GPS Ionospheric Scintillation and Total Electron Content Monitoring on Marion Island, Gough Island, and at SANAE IV, Antarctica
Entry ID: HMO-PSWS_GISTM_MAR_GOG_SNA

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: Ionospheric Scintillation observations at GPS (L-band) frequencies, as measured with the Novatel GSV4004B GPS Ionospheric and Total Electron Content Monitor (GISTM). The data format is proprietary binary format designed by AJ Systems, Silicon Valley, and is parsable using custom software provided by AJ Systems, Silicon Valley.

The parameters in the study are amplitude scintillation index S4, ... View entire text
