The algorithm uses a single-layer phase-screen model of the ionosphere and the scintillation is expressed as a Huygens-Fresnel integral (HFI). By assuming a specially-tailored random phase screen, the HFI can be expressed in closed form as a combination of Fresnel integrals. We statistically characterize the amplitude and phase computed by the HFI for different values of the scintillation index S4. Results for the L1, L2, and L5 bands were obtained and compared with real data, showing good agreement. Some of the advantages of the proposed technique are: (a) the amplitude and phase of the scintillation process are simultaneously obtained; (b) arbitrarily long ionospheric scintillation time series with pre-defined stationary characteristics are synthesized; and (c) several scintillation time series corresponding to different carrier frequencies are generated using a common phase-screen model.

A batch algorithm for GNSS carrier phase cycle slip correction / Brian Breitsch in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 60 n° 2 (February 2022)

In these types of scenarios, GNSS signals often experience harsh propagation conditions, such as low signal-to-noise ratios, multipath, and semicoherent scattering. These conditions, in turn, lead to the frequent occurrence of cycle slips, which manifests as persistent discrete changes in the bias of the carrier phase measurement. In order to effectively use the precise GNSS phase measurements under such conditions, we argue that a window of high-rate measurements must be used. In addition, we suggest that enforcing sparsity in the occurrence of detected cycle slips can aid in detection. We, therefore, develop a batch cycle-slip detection and estimation method that is effective and computationally tractable under harsh signal conditions. This work focuses in particular on strong ionosphere scintillation, which is among the most difficult scenarios for estimating cycle slips. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on both simulated and real GNSS scintillation datasets, showing around a 90% reduction of slips.

Comparison of polar ionospheric behavior at Arctic and Antarctic regions for improved satellite-based positioning / Arun Kumar Singh in Journal of applied geodesy, vol 15 n° 3 (July 2021)

The changes in amplitude and phase scintillation are also probed through Global Ionospheric Scintillation and TEC monitoring (GISTM) systems recordings at North pole [Himadri station; Geographic 78°55′ N, 11°56′ E] and South pole [Maitri station; Geographic 70°46′ S 11°44′ E]. Observations show the range of %TEC variability being relatively more over Antarctic region (−40 % to 60 %) than Arctic region (−25 % to 25 %), corroborating the role of the dominant solar photoionization production process. Our analysis confirms that TEC variation at polar latitudes is a function of magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, depending on interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientation and magnitude in the X ( Bx), Y ( By), and Z ( Bz) plane. Visible enhancement in TEC is noticed in the northern polar latitude when Bx6nT and Bz>0 whereas the southern polar latitude perceives TEC enhancements with Bx>0, −6nT Numéro de notice : A2021-469 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Thématique : POSITIONNEMENT Nature : Article nature-HAL : ArtAvecCL-RevueIntern DOI : 10.1515/jag-2021-0033 Date de publication en ligne : 22/06/2021 En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1515/jag-2021-0033 Format de la ressource électronique : URL Article Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=98107 [article]

Ionospheric irregularity layer height and thickness estimation with a GNSS receiver array / Seebany Datta-Barua in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, Vol 59 n° 7 (July 2021)

Spectra of filtered signal power and phase data are used to estimate these quantities by comparing the observed ratio of the log of the power spectrum to the phase spectrum with the Rytov weak scatter theoretical ratio. A Monte Carlo simulation of noise on the input signal and the irregularity drift velocity is used to quantify the error in estimates of height and thickness. The method is tested using data from the Scintillation Auroral Global Positioning System (GPS) Array (SAGA) sited in the auroral zone at Poker Flat Research Range, Alaska. For the 30-min scintillation period studied, the technique identifies ionospheric scattering from a thick F layer, which correlates well with on-site incoherent scatter radar measurements of peak electron density, for an event previously identified in the literature as likely due to F layer.

Mitigating high latitude ionospheric scintillation effects on GNSS Precise Point Positioning exploiting 1-s scintillation indices / Kai Guo in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 3 (March 2021)

As one of the most challenging error sources affecting Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), scintillation can significantly degrade the performance of GNSS receivers, thereby leading to increased positioning errors. This study analyzes Global Positioning System (GPS) scintillation data recorded by two ionospheric scintillation monitoring receivers operational, respectively, in the Arctic and northern Canada during a geomagnetic storm in 2019. A novel approach is proposed to calculate 1-s scintillation indices. The 1-s receiver tracking error variances are then estimated, which are further used to mitigate the high latitude scintillation effects on GPS Precise Point Positioning. Results show that the 1-s scintillation indices can describe the signal fluctuations under scintillation more accurately. With the mitigation approach, the 3D positioning error is greatly reduced under scintillation analyzed in this study. Additionally, the 1-s tracking error variance achieves a better performance in scintillation mitigation compared with the previous approach which exploits 1-min tracking error variance estimated by the commonly used 1-min scintillation indices. This work is relevant for a better understanding of the high latitude scintillation effects on GNSS and is also beneficial for developing scintillation mitigation tools for GNSS positioning.
