RTWMIS-OSIP

Real time worldwide monitoring of ionospheric scintillation using geodetic receivers: from high end to low cost receivers (RTWMIS). The main objective of the activity is to proof of concept and subsequent demonstration of the feasibility of a real-time worldwide monitoring of ionospheric scintillation (RT-WMIS) based on 1) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) real-time data streams from public networks of geodetic receivers operating at 1Hz, and 2) the accurate modelling of individual GNSS signals by means of the geodetic detrending (GD) methodology. For this objective, the real time data products currently available from gAGE/UPC as well as the future products from the Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) will be considered and, eventually, other existing similar high-precision services that might be of interest will be used in the calculations.
