Probabilistic forecasting of ionospheric scintillation and GNSS receiver signal tracking performance at high latitudes
At high latitudes, phase scintillation occurs predominantly on the day-side in the ionospheric footprint of the magnetospheric cusp, and in the nightside auroral oval. A new technique of probabilistic forecasting of phase scintillation occurrence relative to the arrival time of high-speed solar wind...

At high latitudes, phase scintillation occurs predominantly on the day-side in the ionospheric footprint of the magnetospheric cusp, and in the nightside auroral oval.
