(Disturb Day) at Bhopal

In order to study GPS position error, the GPS Ionospheric Scintillation and TEC Monitor (GISTM) based GPS receiver was installed at an equatorial station, Bhopal (23.2 N, 77.4 E, Geomagnetic latitude 14.23 ̊ N), India. We analyzed the horizontal error and the level of confidence in terms of DRMS & CEP and positional error from fixed GPS point for 16 June 2005(disturb day). In order to study the effect of storm on GPS position errors, the latitudinal error and longitudinal error in meter is studied. We observed that the maximum number of error points in the latitudinal error lies between 1.95 to -1.57 meter while longitudinal error points lies between 1.09 to – 1.28 meter. It was observed that some of the error points lie out the 95% error ellipse and it is observed that the error point’s increased in N and N-E direction. The results have been compared with the earlier ones and discussed in terms of possible source mechanism responsible for the position error at anomaly crest region.
