Scientists have warned that "perplexing" electrical activity in the
ionosphere, caused by disruptive clouds of electrons and other electrically
charged particles, can interfere with signals from GPS satellites.
A group of scientific reports detailing this phenomenon have been published
in a special section of Space Weather.
One team of researchers has observed Earth's aurora, a prominent
manifestation of ionospheric electrical activity, in the act of disrupting GPS
equipment.
Other scientists have successfully tested a way to forecast GPS disturbances
for marine users, with a likely extension to land-based users.
Space Weather reported that other research groups are turning the
tables and employing GPS receivers as tools to conduct basic research on the
electrical-current structures of the ionosphere.
