Raw data acquired by a JAVAD Delta 3 GNSS Receiver with a resolution of 50Hz on board RV Polarstern during the MOSAiC expedition. The data is stored in JAVAD's .jps format (JAVAD GNSS, GREIS – GNSS Receiver External Interface Specification, San Jose, USA, 2022 (download available at https://www.javad.com/jgnss/support/manuals.html)). Each file contains data of one day with a typical file size of 1GB. The receiver was equipped with a multi-frequency GNSS antenna which was mounted on the ship's observation deck. It has to be noted that the main mast and the ship's chimney lead to a shadowing of GNSS observation links in at least two directions seen from the antenna position. The data was collected for measuring scintillation activitiy in the central arctic. Processed scintillation measurements with a 1 minute resolution are available (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.956019).
