A Beginner ’ s Guide to Space Weather and GPS
This brief paper is written for GPS engineers or systems designers who need to know about space weather. Just as an architect might need to know about hurricanes or tornadoes, characterizing space weather enables designers to understand vulnerabilities in their designs, to create more robust designs, and to determine how best to avoid risk. Space weather is a somewhat arcane topic studied by a ...
متن کاملSpace Weather Effects Detected by Gps Based Tec Monitoring
The world-wide use of GPS satellites for navigation and positioning offers the unique chance for permanent monitoring the total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere on global scale. Based on the analysis of GPS-derived TEC maps computed at DLR/DFD Neustrelitz for the European area on a routine base with a time resolution of 10 min the paper demonstrates the power of this new tool to detect ...
متن کامل1 COSMIC GPS Ionospheric Sensing and Space Weather
As our civilization becomes more dependent on space based technologies, we become more vulnerable to conditions in space weather. Accurate space weather specification and forecasting require proper modeling which account for the coupling between the sun, the magnetosphere, the thermosphere, the ionosphere and the mesosphere. In spite of the tremendous advances that have been made in understandi...
متن کاملGPS=GLONASS-based TEC measurements as a contributor for space weather forecast
Space weather monitoring and forecast require a permanent monitoring of the ionospheric state on global scale. The world-wide use of global navigation satellite systems such as GPS and GLONASS o7ers the unique chance for a permanent monitoring of the total ionization (total electron content—TEC) of the global ionosphere=plasmasphere up to about 20000 km height. In this study we turn our attenti...
متن کاملForecasting Space Weather
Forecasting space weather events presents the ultimate challenge to a space physics model. Not only should physical constraints be satisfied, but also practical issues such as timeliness, accuracy, and reliability must be adequately addressed. To address these needs, modern space weather forecasters and users rely on a great variety of space weather models, ranging from simple regressions and e...
