GPS positioning accuracy during the 2016 September and 2010 August campaigns at the SURA heater

Abstract

We have conducted ionosphere heating experiments using HF radiation of SURA facility in August of 2010 and in September of 2016. We analyzed GPS positioning accuracy during the experiments. Positioning errors were estimated for 14 GPS receivers located at various distance, from just at the facility up to more than 1000 km from the facility. Data show that there were no noticeable positioning errors for both precise point positioning (PPP) and standard single-frequency modes
