Ionospheric scintillation monitoring networks contribute to Global Navigation Satellite System

Composition with (1) a map of Brazil with colored polka dots in different cities; (2) small tables representing each month of the year 2014 and marked with colors; (3) a graphic with the title "Station SJCU (GPS) having elev ≥20"; (4) a graphic with lines that oscillate up and down; and (5) a photo of a cylindrical structure with a triangular top in an open space with grass.

The positioning and air navigation system using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is affected by ionospheric scintillations. To mitigate these effects, it is necessary to study the characteristics of these scintillations using data generated by scintillation monitor networks, in order to describe the main characteristics of these networks.
