Data from a GPS scintillation monitor based on 50 Hz measurements recorded at Dirigibile Italia Station (NyAlesund, Svalbard), in the frame of the ISACCO project are used to investigate possible adoption of an alternative parameter for the estimate of phase fluctuations: i.e., the standard deviation of the phase rate of change S_phi.

Optical properties of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) above the landsea transition interface were measured using a scanning Mie lidar at a location 30km from the Adriatic coast. Based on the 2-dimensional rangeheight-indicator scans, detailed information on the ABL was obtained, including parameters such as atmospheric optical depth, aerosol extinction coefficient and the height of the ABL.

Analysis presents initial results from a research work aimed to tackle ionospheric scintillation effects for GNSS users in Latin America. This research is a part of the CIGALA project, co-funded by the EC Seventh Framework Program and supervised by the GNSS Supervisory Authority (GSA), which aims to develop and test ionospheric scintillation countermeasures to be implemented in multi-frequency, multi-constellation GNSS receivers.
