Space Weather Effects on GPS Thomas J. Bogdan, Director Space Weather Prediction Center NCEP/NWS/NOAA 325 Broadway, DSRC Room 2C109 Boulder, CO 80305, USA

For Official Use Only 2 How GPS works Triangulation from known satellite positions Distance calculated based on radio signal travel time Must correct for delays due to propagation through the atmosphere

For Official Use Only 3 GPS Error Sources Typical Error in Meters Standard GPSDifferential GPS (per satellites) Satellite Clocks1.5 0 Orbit Errors2.5 0 Ionosphere Troposphere Receiver Noise Multipath The ionosphere is the largest source of error for Standard GPS and second largest for Differential GPS

For Official Use Only 4 Ionosphere Effects on GPS The ionosphere is defined as the region of the upper atmosphere where radio signal propagation is affected by charged particles.

For Official Use Only 7 Mannucci et al., 2005 Anomaly crests 1 TECU = electrons m -2

For Official Use Only 8 Space Weather Effects on WAAS July 1, 2003 – March 1, 2005 % CONUS at 95% Availability Magnetic Storm Index (Nov 8, 2004) 15 hour loss on 10/29; 11.3 hour loss on 10/30, shorter losses on 11/20/2003

For Official Use Only 9 Ionosphere Corrections Need to model the ionosphere to compute corrections Empirical climatological models: Klobuchar Coefficients Physics based numerical models: CTIPe, TIE-GCM Data assimilation schemes: WAAS, US-TEC, GAIM Models can provide specification and forecast The ionosphere is highly variable in space and time

For Official Use Only 10 US-TEC Product Current NOAA capability for characterizing the total number of free electrons (TEC) in the ionosphere, with parallel input data streams for reliability Since 2004, a product characterizing the ionospheric TEC over the continental US (CONUS) has been running in real-time at NOAA’s Space Environment Center (SEC) The ionospheric data assimilation model uses a Kalman filter and ingests ground-based GPS data to produce 2-D maps of total electron content over the CONUS Product evolved from a collaboration between SEC and NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey (NGS), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and Forecast Systems Laboratory (FSL) Primary Product: Real-time ionospheric maps of total electron content every 15 minutes. Currently uses about 100 real-time GPS stations from the CORS network

For Official Use Only 11 Applications: Ionospheric correction for single frequency GPS; NDGPS positioning; dual-frequency integer ambiguity resolution for rapid centimeter accuracy positioning (OPUS). (OPUS)OPUS) Sat. 1 Sat. 5 Sat. 14 Sat. 29 …. etc A A A AB B B B C C C C Slant-Path TEC Maps
