Analysis of Ionospheric Scintillation Characteristics in Sub-Antarctica Region with GNSS Data at Macquarie Island [PDF]
Sensors, 2017 Ionospheric scintillation has a great impact on radio propagation and electronic system performance, thus is extensively studied currently. The influence of scintillation on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is particularly evident, making GNSS ...

Multi-Frequency Simulation of Ionospheric Scintillation Using a Phase-Screen Model
Navigation, 2022 A fast Monte Carlo technique to simulate equatorial ionospheric scintillation on global navigation satellite system signals is proposed. The algorithm uses a single-layer phase-screen model of the ionosphere and the scintillation is expressed as a ...

Observations and modeling of scintillation in the vicinity of a polar cap patch
Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2022 Small-scale ionospheric plasma structures can cause scintillation in radio signals passing through the ionosphere. The relationship between the scintillated signal and how plasma structuring develops is complex.

Remote sensing of tropospheric turbulence using GPS radio occultation [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2016 Radio occultation (RO) measurements are sensitive to the small-scale irregularities in the atmosphere. In this study, we present a new technique to estimate tropospheric turbulence strength (namely, scintillation index) by analyzing RO amplitude ...
