Two
relevant scientific aims of the proposed ionospheric
scintillation research, of direct interest to the GNSS
community both in the UK and in Brazil, are: a) develop an
ability to forecast the effects and b) devise a strategy to
mitigate these effects on user positioning. This project
will achieve this by: a) securing collaboration with
Brazilian scientists and access to data in order to devise
solutions that can be applied globally in the medium to long
run (in a concerted effort with European partners such as
the INGV) and b) furthering research already initiated
jointly by the two groups, which can be greatly expanded in
the 2 years time frame. This application also timely
addresses the forthcoming Galileo full operation (~2010) and
concurrent approach of the next solar high (~2011). |
