IPY 2007–2008 EISCAT Svalbard radar event studies for the MISW FP7 project

Satellite navigation at high latitudes suffers from disturbances (scintillation) caused by the structured and rapid ionospheric electron density variations caused by magnetospheric particle precipitation and solar energetic particle events. The MISW FP7 project (MItigation of Space Weather threats to GNSS services) aims at a better understanding of such effects and their mitigation.
