Description
This paper briefly describes a novel approach to characterizing the ionosphere over the South Atlantic Geomagnetic Anomaly using a ship-based dual frequency GPS receiver. Applications include but are not limited to HF propagation path prediction for communication and GPS positioning applications, specifically operating in this zone of abnormal magnetic activity.
