Abstract

We focus on the impacts of the polar cap ionospheric sporadic-E (Es) layer that occurred at Resolute Bay, Canada, on September 5, 2012, on the quality of the Global Positioning System (GPS) observable and the positioning performance. Mainly, we are concerned about the relationship between the thin Es layer and the ionosphere scintillation and the reason behind the degraded positioning performance during the event of the polar cap Es. The results show that the polar cap Es can trigger weak-to-moderate amplitude scintillation and the maximum positioning errors in the up component for the Ionospheric-Free Precise Point Positioning (IF-PPP) model can reach up to 0.51 m while that for the Uncombined PPP (UC-PPP) model can reach 1.20 m. The maximum positioning errors occur simultaneously with the time of the maximum amplitude scintillation induced by the polar cap Es. The degraded positioning performance can be attributed mostly to falsely detected cycle slips (CSs), which are influenced by the polar cap Es layer-induced scintillation. To mitigate this, we propose the 3-sigma rule to determine the threshold of the CS detection observables. The preliminary results show that compared with the commonly adopted threshold values, the positioning accuracy improvement in the up component is 14.1% for the IF-PPP model while the corresponding improvement is 40.8% for the UC-PPP model, suggesting that the high accuracy positioning performance can be achieved in the high latitude region by statistic characterization of the CS thresholds.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
