GPS TEC and scintillation measurements from the polar ionosphere during the October 2003 storm
Cathryn N. Mitchell,Lucilla Alfonsi,G. De Franceschi,Mark Lester,Vincenzo Romano,A. W. Wernik +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a GPS receiver in the European high arctic, operating at 1.575 GHz, experienced both phase and amplitude scintillation on several satellite-to-ground links during the 2003 severe ionospheric storms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Space weather challenges of the polar cap ionosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the SuperDARN convection model is used to track polar cap ionosphere patches backward and forward in time, which can be used to forecast its destination in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bipolar climatology of GPS ionospheric scintillation at solar minimum
Lucilla Alfonsi,Luca Spogli,Giorgiana De Franceschi,Vincenzo Romano,Vincenzo Romano,Marcio Aquino,Alan Dodson,Cathryn N. Mitchell +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, high-rate sampling data of Global Navigation Satellite Systems ionospheric scintillation acquired by a network of GPS Ionospheric Scintillation and TEC Monitor receivers located in the Svalbard Islands, in Norway and in Antarctica have been analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pitout,Markus Rapp,Iwona Stanislawska,Juha Vierinen +22 more
TL;DR: The new radar facility will enable the EISCAT_3D science community to address new, significant science questions as well as to serve society, which is increasingly dependent on space-based technology and issues related to space weather.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of high-latitude patches and associated small-scale irregularities during the October and November 2003 storms
Giorgiana De Franceschi,Lucilla Alfonsi,Vincenzo Romano,Marcio Aquino,Alan Dodson,Cathryn N. Mitchell,P. S. J. Spencer,A. W. Wernik +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the total electron content (TEC) and scintillation data, combined with ionospheric tomography produced by the multi-instrument data analysis system (MIDAS), reveal strong enhancements and steep gradients in TEC during nighttime under a prevailing negative Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF).
