Beyond Land: Exploring Ionospheric Scintillation in the South Atlantic with a Mobile GNSS Receiver

"Beyond Land: Exploring Ionospheric Scintillation in the South Atlantic with a Mobile GNSS Receiver" is a technical book that focuses on the study of ionospheric scintillation in the South Atlantic. These phenomena, caused by rapid fluctuations in radio signals, pose a challenge for navigation systems like GPS, particularly in the region of the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), where the magnetic field is weakened. The book describes an innovative approach that employs a mobile GNSS receiver on a research vessel to collect data in this remote area. By capturing real-time data on the intensity of scintillation and its effects on GNSS signals, a more comprehensive understanding of these phenomena is achieved. The mobile technology offers the advantage of capturing the dynamic nature of scintillation, thus providing valuable information for improving prediction models for safe navigation. This book is aimed at professionals and enthusiasts in the fields of astronomy and navigation technology.
