Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

A statistical study is performed of the phase fluctuations of GPS signals and positioning errors at Ny-Ålesund (78.9° N, 11.9° E) and Tromsø (69.60° N, 19.20° E) for March, June, October, and December 2015. The strongest fluctuations occur around magnetic noon at Ny-Ålesund and magnetic midnight at Tromsø. The seasonal/diurnal course of fluctuations and positioning errors agree strongly.
