1 Space Weather Effects over EGNOS Performance in the North of Europe 11 th SWW, Liege, 17 th November 2014 Presenter author: Pedro Pintor Authors: R. Roldán, J. Gómez, C. de la Casa, R.M. Fidalgo

2 SBAS impacted by Ionosphere 2 11 th SWW-2014 17 November 2014 EGNOS (left) and WAAS (right) LPV performance results on 19 th (top) and 27 th February 2014 (bottom) from ESSP and FAA websites

3 Geomagnetic indexes 3 Several indexes represent the disturbances in the ionosphere: K/Kp index: The K index provides a representation of disturbances in the magnetic field, during a 3-hour interval. A/Ap index: The A index represents a daily average value of the geomagnetic activity measured at a specific station. 11 th SWW-2014 17 November 2014

4 Reaction of geomagnetic indexes 4 The 3-hour Kp indexes during the 19 th (left) and 27 th (right) February 2014 from NOAA/SWPC. However, both WAAS and EGNOS were much more impacted on 27 th. 11 th SWW-2014 17 November 2014

5 Reaction of geomagnetic indexes 5 Correlation of Ap index and EGNOS LPV Availability at RIMS Tromso(Norway) Although correlated, similar variations in Ap index does not produce similar variations in a specific location 11 th SWW-2014 17 November 2014

6 Geomagnetic indexes limitations 6 Then, the use of Kp and Ap indicators presents some limitations: Level of correlation Temporal resolution Geographical applicability 11 th SWW-2014 17 November 2014

7 Need of a different approach 7 SBAS Performance depends on Ionosphere IONO indicators present limitations ? 11 th SWW-2014 17 November 2014

8 Need of a different approach 8 SBAS Performance depends on Ionosphere IONO indicators present limitations Look for new dependencies directly from the cause of geomagnetic storms 11 th SWW-2014 17 November 2014

9 Our different approach 9 SBAS iono Depends on TEC (RTCA MOPS 229) TEC Correlated to Geomagnetic storms (Mendillo, 2007) Geomagntic storms Earth’s magnetosphere exchanges with interplanetary conditions (Zhang, 2007) Interplanetary conditions Interplanetary conditions originated by solar phenomena: Coronal Mass Ejections (Webb, 2012) Solar flares (Hudson, 2011) Coronal holes (Cranmer, 2002) Solar prominences and filaments Solar phenomena originates Solar wind Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) 11 th SWW-2014 17 November 2014

10 Solar phenomena Inter planetary magnetic field Solar wind speed Presentation of our analysis 10 The method of analysis searches a relation among: Earth’s magnetic field TEC rate SBAS perfo (Zhang, 2007)NOAA reports 11 th SWW-2014 17 November 2014
