[TangerineSDR] [HamSCI] Re: Effect of GNSS Degradation During Geomagnetic Storm 9/19-20/23

[Jonathan]

Graham,

Thanks for posting those links. I don't utilize TEC data because it doesn't
relate to my study, but time series TEC data will show scintillation on
GNSS signals which would be useful in this case. I've only ever had these
anomalies where geomagnetic storming affected my local region of the
ionosphere which includes when aurora was observed in my state. Once I
find some scintillation data for that day, I'll try to do some correlation.

Thanks again.
