Purpose
This project is entitled ""A GNSS auroral space weather product - quantifying auroral effects on global navigation systems"". The project team will develop a computer-based model to better understand the impact of space weather on Global Navigation Satellite Systems, and devices like Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Space weather events such as aurora are known to interfere with radio signals broadcast by GPS satellites and can result in the loss of the GPS signal and greatly affect users. The team will use data from Canadian instrument arrays deployed across Canada that observe the ionosphere and aurora to develop and test their models to pursue their study.
